    Two unrelated issues? Check your battery?

    Gotcha, yeah mine looked pretty poor but I just cleaned it all up and even with the rotted out brackets/ grounding strap mine still fires right up and runs every day. Might test the coil? 87 XE red/red 3+3+33's=my finder
  3. aj503
    Think that grounding strap is for the coil, mine was in similar shape and I was having similar issues. Replaced the coil and it seemed to solve the problem... The thing circled in red is the ignition control module. How long does it run before it craps out, when I was dealing with it it would stop giving me spark after the truck heated up. 87 XE red/red 3+3+33's=my finder

    Check for corrosion on maf and injector plugs, could also be a wiring issue. 87 XE red/red 3+3+33's=my finder
  5. aj503
    Did it throw any codes? Also worthlooking at the wiring and harnesses for the injectors (MAF wiring as well). 87 XE red/red 3+3+33's=my finder
  6. aj503
    Problem may not be injector, have you checked codes yet? That rev limit is limp mode, I have had that happen and had issues other than injectors. 87 XE red/red 3+3+33's=my finder

    I use rough country UCA's I like them, and they come with grease fittings. (Fought urges to not make a BJ angle joke...) 87 XE red/red 3+3+33's=my finder

    As long as the old belt is intact you will be able to just do a new timing belt as long as you follow the instructions and get things lined up/count teeth and set the tensioner correctly you should be good to go. It is easy as long as internals are not jacked up via broken belt etc. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

    Ran it through DEQ/smog... and it PASSED! Six Months of tinkering and troubleshooting in my free time pays off!

    Zombie'ish thread update... haha... Anyways I cut the flanges off the old cat and made an extension that just bolted up to cover the difference. Not pretty but it works fine.

    Passed smog today after 6 months of the finder sitting!

    Fabricated an extension for my "bolt on" catalytic converter using the flanges from the old cat. Installed it all, now to see if it will smog. Oh and adjusted timing to spec.

    I second those checks, especially checking codes, sounds like limp mode+ something else.

    Is the cold idle part about where it should be?
