I just got my EFI 351w running in my 88LX. I am having a few problems, and cant seem to get any closer to fixing them. Please help if you have any ideas on any of my problems! I tried searching for a long time but nothing is the same as my problem, some close, but no answers.
1. It wont charge, I have put on 2 known good alternators and finally a brand new one. I jump start the car, pull the (+) cable and it dies. What else could make it not charge?
2. Wont idle when cold, and once it does idle, it goes back and forth from 800 to 3,000, 10 seconds at each RPM.
3. After running it to normal temp, if I try to restart it (on jumper cables) it just clicks, until it cools off and will run again, but very cold blooded again.
4. The car likes a lot of timing, so advanced that it doesnt start right, I have to retard the timing to start it then advance it to run right. without it advanced so much, throttle response is horrible and it pops thrtough the intake.,
I have not adjusted the fuel pressure yet, but it is rich not lean. I ran the code reader key on engine off, and the only non smog related code was "Throttle position sensor out of range" it is brand new though....I have not adjusted it to .095 volts yet, because i always play with the idle trying to get it to run right.
Please help me out, I have nowhere else to turn and am very frusterated....after all this work it barely runs. please help, thank you
