I’m fairly capable and can assemble the engine myself and I do know of a good machine shop in my area. If I’m taking the time to take the engine out, I would rather go through it and do some much needed power upgrades to make the engine a little more fun. There are quite a few junkyard TBI 350’s...
It is my current daily driver, but I do have a 1979 Cutlass with a 455 I wouldn’t mind driving as my daily again.
I’m not entirely sure how the oil is getting in. It doesn’t puff on start up and smokes the worst when you are using engine braking or when you floor it and then let off. The...
I need some general advice and opinions. I have a 1995 K1500 with a TBI 350 in it that oil fouls cylinder 6 quite often. I’m thinking of either tearing the engine down to the short-block, inspecting the cylinders, replacing the heads, cam, lifters and putting in a timing set and putting it back...
I have an update. I unplugged all of the sensors one by one and the only difference was unplugging the CTS while running. It wouldn’t flood out the engine that way. Could I have gotten two bad CTS’s in a row? Could the grounds be at fault?
I read up on it a little more and it turns out I was just looking at open loop, closed loop like you said Shurkey. I’m just guessing until I get a scan tool.
it’s a ‘95, so it should be heated. Cross counts are two at idle in 10 seconds and 4 when driving in ten seconds. I jumped pins an and b that’s how I’m getting the cross counts without a scan tool.
I sadly don’t have a scan tool just yet, but I will do some testing when I do get one.
I’ve replaced the coolant temp sensor twice, but I’m not a fan of shotgunning parts at it.
I tested it while it was warmed up. Sometimes it’s lazy, other times it isn’t. For example if you start it after its been warmed up and you shut it off the cross counts will be high, but then once you drive it they’ll stay rich for a few second then lean, etc.

I don’t have a scan tool yet.
It doesn’t have a catalytic converter.
All of the spark plug wires and components are a year old and the timing is set per factory spec to 0°btdc with the est wire disconnected.
