305 TPI Help Please

my engine has a bit of annoying problem...the engine when started floods and if it drops low on rpms, it dies. now i have a scanner and checked for codes. i got the knock senser, MAF, and i do believe the O2 senser. i say i believe so becasue its been since last november i've done any work with the car. i replaced the knock senser and the mass air flow. didnt help so i replaced the ECM, and it didnt help either. the only thing im thinking of is that maybe the ECM i got was bad. oh and when running, raw fuel comes out the exhaust...thanks i would love to get it running again

Re: 305 TPI Help Please

stuck open injector. are you running stocK injectors 23 years old? its fuel related. that be cool to blow flames out the pipe, id have a killa time with that. But i wanna say stuck injector. test the Resistance on each injector. it takes about 45 minutes. i use a needle pin to carefully remove the clips. or the easy way would be to attach a fuel pressure gauge on the rail and prime her. shouldnt drop. past 32psi/max 45

Re: 305 TPI Help Please

how do you test the resistance on the injectors and what should it be? I'm having a similar problem with my tpi.

Re: 305 TPI Help Please

In the berlinetta the MAF gets the power from the light module... just something to think about. I don't know if that applies for non -berli cars.
