    TBI surging when idling after warm. Coolant Temp Sensor replaced. Cause?

    Injectors not pulsing when starting.

    I'm sure this has been covered, and I have read the posts on it, but still need some feedback. Bought a 95 OBS Single Cab Fleetside Silverado with the 5.7 TBI. Decided that a TBI cleaning was in order, so sprayed some carb/injector cleaner with it still on the manifold. Next day noticed that it...
