5.7 engine run prob
I've have a 91 trams am gta with 5.7 tpi.
It runs great when first started but after it warms up
It wants to loose rpm's when hitting the accelerator.
I have put a new oil send unit, temperature and fan control sensor.
Also the iac and tps( it is set at .54 volts)are new! Any ideas? It is not running hot but acts like one would with power loss and engine idling down, very confused!!!!
Oh, I have replaced fuel pressure reg and the connector to all sensors. The engine isn't on , and no errors.

Re: 5.7 engine run prob
Are you getting a SES light? you might have to adjust the idle speed and your gonna need a voltometer to make sure your TPS is adjusted right

Re: 5.7 engine run prob
check your vacuum lines and also your sparkplug wires see if the have any cracks in them they could be cross firing. just a thought

Re: 5.7 engine run prob
Vacuum lines are hooked up, ( according to diagram ) but in a book I did see a little black thing ( diffuser) that looks like it hooks to throttle body ( idk where other ends hook.)Can't find anything about it. But that is only thing not on engine, the diagram on engine does not show that black thing. I have out new plugs and wires on it

Re: 5.7 engine run prob
im not really sure what your trying to say you might have a wire that came unhooked. but check your connections to your MAF, TPS, and IAC sensors, those are all by the throttle body.

Re: 5.7 engine run prob
wait, yours is a 91 so it doesnt have a MAF sensor it has a MAP sensor, see if its pluged in.

Re: 5.7 engine run prob
Ok here is latest , I have replaced map sensor again and the tps . What I have discovered is that the tps keeps losing it's base setting of .54
I replaced the connector as well. After it is driven couple days the tps has to be readjusted then after that I have to replace it! The one that suppose go to my car from autozone, advance and orielly's is made wrong with no adjustment holes, so been using one two years previous , I don't think that would be causing my issue but???
