Hi, My 1988 Trans Am 350 TPI, idles and runs fine with the EST wire disconnected. When the wire is connected, the car idles rough and stalls when put in reverse or drive. I've tried 2 different distributors and I still have the same problem. Can anybody help?
Re: CAR DOESN"T STALL WITH EST CONNECTOR DISCONNECTED
Youve tried different dizzys with the same result. Its runs just fine with the EST disconnected you said. The only difference between EST connected and not, is connected the ECM drives the advance/retard function. Try a different ecm/prom.
