Which TPI parts to replace?
Hi all,
My current project is retro-fitting an '89 TPI system and engine into my Trans Am. I don't know anything about the history of the engine and TPI on top of it (except it hasn't been running for 3 years) , so I was wondering what parts are known to fail so I can do a bulk order of parts from the USA so I can save on freight costs etc. I figure an EGR valve would be a good place to start, but what else would you recommend be put on the shopping list?
Are there some parts I can verify still operate properly without having to buy anything? I've already checked the resistance on the injectors and they're all at 16ohms so I know in that regard they're still good.
