89 IROC Start/Stumble/Stall/Jumpy Tach - FIXED

Did a bit of creeping this forum to find the connection points of the various ignition and fuel management modules of my 89 L98 IROC.It had been starting and then about 10% of the time it would stumble and die.

All I did was dump a can of seafoam into the tank and then went at all the ignition and fuel management connections with some dielectric grease. The seafoam helped it a bit, the wee bit of grease had amazing results.

I'd of never thought a tiny bit of grease would improve the way a car can run so effectively but it really improved the quality of the cars idle and start up.

I enjoyed driving a Black T/A way back in the day too.More than one car I wish I had not parted with.
