Hi guys-

New to this site, but not to F-bodies.

I now own my 4th Fbody, my lastest being my new (to me) 91 RS. it was origionally a 5.0 TBI w/ 5 spd w/ deluxe interior and f-40 Z wing. ITs a black hardtop with power everything. MY plan on this one is to not rip it out and go carbureated like my 85 iroc but to go with a 5.7 TPI monster.

the guy that had it before me said that he replaced the 305 with a 350 and went carbureated (like my 85) he said the carbureated setup was getting too much fuel so he switched it back to TBI and couldnt get it running.

well i get it home and put a battery in it and find out that probably why it couldnt get back running is that the car has electrical problems.

the lights work... kinda. the power locks work.... kinda.... the interior lights work minus the instrument panel lights and the gauges do not do anything. power windows are in a coma. fuel pump does not come on. i wanted to post this up before i started to dive in to see whats wrong so that maybe someone could say check this check that and i do and it starts working.

so far i have the interior out ( because all it needs to be perfect inside it is the infamous dash pad, a driver seat, carpet and a headliner ( everything else is perfect) so i have access to the wires and the computer and fuses (which will be where i look first in about 3 minutes).

sorry this was so long, but if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome.

thanks in advance

Nick

Edit- Checked the fuses in the passenger compartment. all fuses are good, but some are missing. i know that sometimes fuses will be left out, but here are the ones that are missing

INJ #2
DRL

those wouldnt have anything to do with the electrical problems i am having?

 

INJ #2 would - that one is used.

DRL is daytime running lights - not an issue.
