Hello....
I put a reman TBi unit on my 1994 Suburban K1500 5.7 today. It was REALLY hard to start, then it ran ok for a bit. Put it in gear to do a driveway test ( I have a REALLY long driveway ) and it died. On restart it was bucking and backfiring like it had slipped a timing chain. I shut it down, checked all the vaccuum and wiring, all was fine. So I swapped back in the old unit (bad bushings, all the rest works fine) and it fired up and ran great, just the crappy hard to smash throttle due to the bad bushings. What did I do wrong, or did I just get a lemon reman unit?
