    94 Chevy Brake Switch Not Engaging

    94 Chevy k1500 Brake switch only engages when I manually pull up on the switch assembly. When the brake pedal is pressed down, the brake switch slides down the booster shaft but does not make the contacts within the switch unless I pull on the switch to engage it all the way. Just got the...

    tbi chevy barely starts, runs very rich

    tbi chevy barely starts, runs very rich

    I ohmed it out a few weeks ago I believe it was some where in this area 2238 ohms @ 86 deg. F. or 30 deg. C. 2796 ohms @ 77 deg. F. or 25 deg. C. assuming these are accurate then the CTS should be good but I can check it again. any way the fuel pressure regulator would cause a flooding...

    tbi chevy barely starts, runs very rich

    I don't hold it to the floor, just pump it very quickly, always seemed to be the trick with troublesome carbed motors, just kinda stuck with me I guess. anyways it is def flooded. would a bad pick up coil be a some what intermitted problem or would it fail completely? im trying to get a game...

    1990 350 tbi running super rich help

    my 94 ran the same way after I put full length headers on it before I ran the rest of the exhaust. I could barely keep it running, then threw the first couple feet of the exhaust on it and it ran good enough to move it around, def improved. I think with the long tubes and no exhaust theres not...

    94 Auto to 5spd swap Reverse Light wires??

    So I pulled the 4L60 out of my 94 k1500 4x4 and put a 5spd out of a 98 k1500 in it. It originally had the big round plug (maybe 15 pin) in the auto trans, I cant find the reverse light wires to wire into the 5spds reverse light plug. The manual I found said Drk Blue and Lt GRN, so I snipped...

    94 TBI Hard Start, Doesn't Run Right??

    Just a quick update, I really think the lack of exhaust/ back pressure was the problem. CTS ohmed out correctly, bolted up the first couple feet of my exhaust and def made a big difference. It doesn't run great but atleast starts and runs enough to move it in and out the garage. hoping once I...

    94 TBI Hard Start, Doesn't Run Right??

    ok cool, ill ohm out the CTS and see what I get, just looked up ohm vs temp ratings for the CTS and at about 70F I should read around 3520 ohms. Ill also check the vac line to the map, very possible I knocked it loose or broke it while messing under the hood. As far as the IAC, these can be...

    94 TBI Hard Start, Doesn't Run Right??

    would the lack of back pressure from running open headers make it run so horribly??

    94 TBI Hard Start, Doesn't Run Right??

    Also, the truck came with a new pickup coil in the glove box, asked the guy I bought it from why it was there and he didn't know, said it was is there when he bought it. What are the symptoms of a bad pickup coil??

    94 TBI Hard Start, Doesn't Run Right??

    I actually cleaned up the grounds from the pass side frame to the firewall and the ground bolted to the thermostat spout. Any other grounds I looked past?? and the CTS being bad would make it that difficult to start even when cold?? if so this may make sense because I did not have a temp reading...

    94 k1500 Tune Up Kit???

    well looks like im going to be ordering some shorty headers and fab'n up an x-pipe for my exhaust. I have read some where that the placement of and x-pipe or h-pipe is important, where would be the most beneficial place on these trucks to add the crossover to the exhaust?? closer to the headers...

    94 k1500 Tune Up Kit???

    how much would adding a proper "x-pipe" to my dual exhaust affect the sound of it?? Ive never added one to any of my exhaust. I always just run true duals with glasspacks and no cats because I love that sound but Ive heard a x-pipe will help add power. would the sound change much? and is the...
