Question
Hello,
I have a 1987 chevy truck with a 350 Throttle Body Injection. It will turn over but not start. If you pour some gas in the throttle body, it will start for as long as that gas is there. I have recently replaced the, fuel pump, battery, distributor, cap, rotor, electric plugs on the injectors. I put the injector part of throttle body and ECM in another truck and they worked fine. I used a noid light on the injectors and the light does not come on. Also, can this be converted to a carb?
Phillip;
HI I would get a meter to put it on and see what codes pop up.It could be 1 0f a few 100 things.Is the fuel pump working? and is the motor getting fuel. As far as a carb, I see no reason why a std. intake with a carb not work BUT ! as far as the computer it will have to be set up for the carb, and as far as the inspection , if it has to pass a emissions test I do not know how that would go. and you would have to plug up a lot of things.
