q jet 4 barrel won't open?
 
i have an 87 camaro with a 4 barrel q jet electric choke. I have no idea why but the two big barrel won't open at all. Any ideas?

Well, not sure how you know they "won't open". Because the engine has to be under load to have them open. They will not open if the car is sitting in the garage and you just push the throttle wide open.

they won't open if the choke isn't fully open. I had mine setup where they would open when you winged the throttle, you have to loosen the air valve tension screw for it to do it, but i had richer rods so it wouldn't bog.
