TBI stuck open
TBI stuck open
I just installed a 91 tbi setup on a 82 305, as soon as my fuel pump kicks on the injectors seem to run wide open and do not stop. as long as I have power to my fuel pump the injectors inject massive amounts of fuel. I did reprogram a chip for the ecm but, all i changed was the VATS setting and EGR settings.
Any known reason why my injectors would stay wide open?

Re: TBI stuck open
Just a guess...Throttle Position Sensor bad/not hooked up right.
Re: TBI stuck open
yes, it was hooked up. I unhooked it and found that it was still shooting fuel into the engine. I'm in the process of rebuilding the tbi. I hope the injectors are good. I have looked high and low for the resistance value they are supposed to have and found 3 different values ranging from 1.2 ohm to 6-7ohm to 11-12 ohms. I am going to install the rebuild tbi tonight and see what happens.

Re: TBI stuck open
When I first turn the ignition on w/o starting the engine, the fuel pump only runs for about two or three seconds. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram, but I believe this is controlled by relays along the firewall on the driver's side. I'm out town, so I don't have access to the manual for my car.
Can anyone verify?
