Re: Quadrajet help
Just an update... last month while driving to work, had the idling issue come back again.... I was going up a hill, accelerated to get up over the hill, came to a intersection and the truck wanted to stall out. Talked with my mechanic about it and he mention that it could be the accelerator pump - so at that point, decided to go ahead and rebuild the carburetor ( the truck has 88000 miles and the carb appear to be untouched) . The carb is back on the truck, no vacuum leaks, timing is around 12. The truck starts up and runs great for the first 10 to 15 mins into the drive, then I noticed the idle has come down again....not sure to look at next.... it does have a HEI that was installed by the previous owner - could this be an issue ? Very frustrating... like I mention, she runs great at the start, but something is happening once the engine get's hot.
Thanks guys.... I appreciate any input ! Steve |
