Q1: My buddy has a 305TPI and recently replaced plugs and wires. After sitting for hours it starts but sputters and sometimes just stalls but only when cold or sitting for a long time, enough to bring it back down below 50*. What could be the problem. I'm thinking fuel filter.

 

I re-read the post so I'm changing the response. This doesn't belong here, it's not a simple Q with a definitive A. Ask this in the General Tech section. The previous post should be moved and mine should be deleted.

 

Can somebody give me or point me in the right direction.

Looking for the Delco part #'s

Enter any vehicle and you can look up the part number on any part you want.

 

O.k. so I have a 88' IROC-Z with a stock 305. The rear has a set of 3.73 gears. I wanted to squeeze a bit more power outta my TPI and am looking at getting some Edelbrock Shorty headers, a flowmaster exhaust system, SLP intake runners and a 52mm Throttle body.

You mention about a also going with a cam and intake, who makes a intake manifold that can be used with my stock heads? Th eedelbrock one suggests the vortec ones but are they able to bolt dirrectly on? Also what a good mild cam.

I'm looking at mayeb bumping up the horsepower to around 300 if possible. Any other suggestions? Thanks

 

Do you know how many bits is a nibble?

 

I HAVE 91 Z28 CONVERTIBLE W/L98,

Q: WHAT CAUSES THE OIL TO BACK UP THE DIPSTICK LINE AND PUSH THE DIPSTICK OUT AND CAUSE IT BLOW ALOT OF OIL ON TO HEADERS ETC. ALSO WHEN I GET ON IT FROM A DEAD STAND, SHE RUNS THRU 1ST AND 2ND FINE BUT 3RD OR 4TH MAY TRIGGER SOME TYPE OF FUEL SHUT OFF OR IGNITION, EITHER WAY SHE LOSES ALL POWER.

BRIEFLY: I RECENTLY DID THE INTAKE GASKET. BEFORE THIS I HAD NO PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER WITH ACCEL AND TOP-END. BUT AFTER I HAVE HAD THE OIL PROBLEM AND THE LOST OF HIGHEND POWER.

ANY SUGGESTIONS

 

PVC Valve, maby the oil seperator is clogged if equipt, picton rings are going bad. Basically the crankcase has a lot of pressure which is the reason why the the oil is pushed out the dipstick tube.

 

OK AND WHAT ABOUT THE THE FUEL OR JUST PLAIN CUT-OFF POINT I GET TO IN 3RD AND 4TH WHEN UNDER FULL THROTTLE, IT JUST LETS GO AND AS THE ENGINE RPMS DROP IF I TOUCH THE GAS AGAIN THE POWER IS RIGHT BACK THERE, THE ENGINE NEVER ACTUALLY CUTS OFF JUST SOME TYPE OF LOST OF POWER, OR IS IT TIMING?

AN THOUGHTS?

 

Are there any TC's? does it always happen at a certain position of the gas pedal?

 

yeah if i floor it, and hold it it shuts out like i said but if i back off for just a second then get back on it gradually up to top end, it never shuts out

 

HONESTLY WHATS ....TC'S

 

trouble codes

 

Is it also taboo to post questions regarding TPI conversions into non thridgen vehicles, as long as its in the TPI section?

My bro-n-law has a 87 IROC with the HSR. The OEM hood (with Hood Louvers) actually rubbed a hole into the flexable boot infront of the TB. So we had to cut out the "bump" under the hood. Not a perfect fit, but with a little modification of the hood, you'll be A OK.

 

Try looking at a late 80's Corvette 350. If I'm not mistaken, some 'Vettes and F-bodies came with an aluminum block.

 

I know this has to be a stupid question...but I can not figure out how to start a thread, to ask my own questions....I am using my phone, because its more convenient, but still.. If someone could help me out here...I would really appreciate it. Thanks

 

Tmic87,
I like the hood and would like to know if you purchased it and where I may be able to get one.

 

this was 2015 after a tune up on the 91 z28 5.7 this thread is old I started screwing around with the timing at the distributor and ended getting a timing light had no used one in years.had to scotch brite the harmonic balancer to see the makers. that tells me nobody touched it for a long time got stop by the police for a unintended burnout ended about 8' after a week of trials .iban

 

I like how I go to reference this thread for a specific subject, and it just throws me to search.

In the future, at least directly link to posts pertaining to the 'banned' questions. It'd help a lot instead of making me wade though 10+ years of data.

 

A number of years ago there was a couple of threads where a bunch of our guys were fussing with a bunch of Camaro owners from Australia, and they were bragging etc. BUT the guys down under claimed fantastic MPG…after much talk and figuring things out it was discovered that there was a Easter egg they called a “Lean Burn Cruise” setting and theirs was turned on and ours was not.

So once we got them turned on the USA Cars also got great MPG something like 30/35MPG.

I have run search after search and cannot find these old threads.

Is there a special section for OLD threads??

Can you help me???

Thanks.

Rich

 

whats all needed to install HSR can i use stock throttle body and stocke fuel rails?? is there a forum outlining this ive been searching for hours

 

This is a sticky thread? Dumb policy.

 

Here's some testing (20 years later lol):

 

What does the red wire go to on the fuel pump? Relay is not getting power. When I texted with my test light.

 

might try applying power to it. It’s a test feed . Don’t text it lmao. This is an old thread. Might have better luck starting a new one.
