PathfinderProject1988 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 A few weeks ago a buddy and me started to fix up an 88 that had been sitting around 10 years. we have replaced all the vacuum lines (about 1,000 miles) and fuel lines, got a new gas tank, fuel pump, fuel filter and cleaned out the carburetor, did an oil change. new slave cylinder and master cylinder. we got it to start and drove it around the yard but now she just wont run or idle or anything. This weekend we are gonna re-build the carburetor, Anything we should check on that might be wrong? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo94 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Going by your profile i'm going to assume you have a v6? if so you don't have a carburetor you have the throttle body injection motor. Start by checking your codes and go on from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWT87PATHY Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Treat it like a tbi maybe you will have better luck. Make sure u have iac and your injectors are spraying properly, perhaps give it a tune up and make sure your fuel filter flow is going the right way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Unplug power from the injectors and see if they stop spraying, that will let you know if its electrical (ECU grounding and holding the injectors open or a wiring short). If they keep spraying you'll need to pull the throttle body and remove the injectors. You could try and have them cleaned, tap on the body a bit, or stick them in some lacquer thinner/ acetone to eat away the gunk. Even better if you have a jewelry cleaner.

PathfinderProject1988 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 So after a few try's to get them clean they still keep spraying, is it time for new injectors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
