89 RS/ New to TBI tech
Im restoring an 89 RS with a 305 TBI....have had high idle issues,searched for vacuum leaks,replaced base gasket,didn't help. Was out yesterday,started the car,idle was suddenly decent,backed out of spot,put into drive and engine stalled. Tried to restart,cranks fine,getting fuel,but won't start. I know this could be multiple issues,would appreciate a more knowledgeable opinion on where to start....thx

Are you getting a check engine light? If so, what codes does it show?

Are you connecting the correct two terminals?

Re: 89 RS/ New to TBI tech
Connected a wire from slot A to B,turned the key to ON position,start up lights came on as normal,but no flashing sequence and no codes. Engine light was coming on after about 10 minutes of driving,but wasn't causing any change in how she was running. Went back to basics last night and checked for spark and there wasn't any,so now I'm thinking ICM? Did have the high idle issue,which seemed to go away seconds before she died,so I'm not sure if that's related. Going to throw on a new ICM this morning and see where I'm at........thx

FYI....appreciate the help...I'm a gearhead from the 70/early 80's and I missed out on third gen tech having exwives and kids,so I'm sure you'll see me plenty!
