350 TBI surging idle, some stalling when put into gear.
350 TBI surging idle, some stalling when put into gear.
Alright guys. So after searching forum after forum on why my 92 RS 350 TBI will surge in RPM's during idle while warming up, then come near to stalling (sometimes actually stalling out)...I just want to know who can shed some light on this because it seems to be a somewhat common thing with these cars. The car was originally a 305 TBI but was swapped for a 350 (not sure if that helps...just figured I'd throw that out there). Thank you guys..

It sounds like a lean condition. Is it still using the 305 throttle body?

That could be your problem. I would use the throttle body and ecm from the 350 just to be safe.

You need to get 55#hr tbi truck injectors not a complete throttle body and the correct ecm calibration.

Thought you'd get better advice on the TBI forum.

right on the money Ronny the 454 is a larger tb bore though.

You can grab a complete tb and ecm from a salvage yard for $60...I meant a complete throttle body with injectors in my earlier post. I actually have a tb from a 350 sitting on a shelf in my garage. I don't need it.

This TB you have, how much would you want for it? I would also need an LO5 prom and what about ECM/esc?

The esc may work you would need to post the number on yours but the knock sensor would need to be changed to a standard motor products Ks7 or equilivent.
