    I got tired of following the troubleshooting guide after going about 3/4's the way thu it and finding nothing wrong... So I just replaced the distributor coil like was told earlier and also swapped the ICM just because I had the extra ones in a box. It Started... I wonder if the new (standard)...

    Ok, issue now. I took the old pigtail and got it spliced to temp work while waiting for the new one to come. Was seeing if I could get it to start. Now what I have is still no fuel thru the injectors. Got power to the red wire on both with key on on the injector harness plug, Test light...

    I sure hope so. I just installed the distributor back in with the new pickup coil and also noticed one of the (two) distributor cap bolts that hold it onto the distributor was stripped... re taped one size larger bolt and got it secured properly. That could of been amother issue as well... Only...

    Just pulled the distributor to replace the pickup trigger coil and noticed the ignition coil connector pig tail (black Connector) had a bad connection on the white wire. It was barely hanging on, I bent it and it came off.. So I think I may have found my issue or another issue that just happened...

    Mine just Cut out and died completly while my son was driving it today...Again.... The LED light connected to the coil stayed on when it happened.

    I drove it today for about an hour total, drove like a champ going to Lowes (30 minute drive). On the trip back it cut off twice, this time it felt like the injectors stopped pumping fuel?? 3/4 tank of gas, once at a stand still awaiting on a light and the other while driving, put it in neutral...

    I just replaced the passenger side tank because it leaked. About $300 to get that fixed, thats the tank, sending unit with pump etc. I replaced the transfer switch at the same time. but not a hard job. I have my son run that new tank just to illiminate the drivers side tank as the issue, which...

    The brake light on the dash does come on when I press the brakes hard then go off. I recently replaced the drum brakes on the rear and the front discs etc. I need to re bleed the brakes, I believe is what is causing this?? But its been braking fine and no leaks. It all happens well after its...

    Gotcha, I got wrong info from a mechanic friend that said 87' tbi had a low oil safety that would shut the fuel pump off. The shut off of the engine while driving only happens when driving, not while idling... This is so random its frustrating... Ive seen other posts of the same issue with the...

    87' R10 TBI 350 shuts off when driving. HeLP

    Ricko ~ I will add this & let you know. What would the light going out signal? Also is there a way to bypass all the safety shut off stuff? I know the oil switch controls the fuel pump to shut off if it goes below 3psi or something like that. Id like to bypass that to see if thats the issue. the...

    **Update** - it has been two days since replacing the ignition distributor Pickup as recommended (had to remove distributor & take apart to replace, very easy to do). It has not died while driving. It could have been the pigtail from the coil to the ICM that one of the connections was hanging on...

    Another Speedometer Question I know.. But couldnt find an solution

    Just installed the 40+ gear housing and ended with the 42 tooth gear to adjust the speedo being off by the 10mph. Its now about 1mph faster then what a gps says. Ive determined for my application, that each gear increase corrected the speed by 1.5 mph. So with the 36 tooth it was 10 mph fast...

    Another Speedometer Question I know.. But couldnt find an solution

    Just installed the new speedometer. Seems to be a smoother function then the original one, the 36 tooth gear was still 10mph faster on the speedo. Swapped the 38 tooth in and it dropped to 7-8 mph faster, then put in the 39 tooth and was 5 mph faster. Iits working its way down with each gear...

    Another Speedometer Question I know.. But couldnt find an solution

    No noise or jumping. It did jump prior to me replacing the speedo cable. Which I figured was the issue with the speed difference at the beginning of diagnosing the issue... However, I broke the red dial removing it by accident, so decided to get a new one. Ill post results after the new one gets...

    Another Speedometer Question I know.. But couldnt find an solution

    I used that same calculator which said to use the 36 tooth that showed my 10mph difference. I decided to up my tooth to 39 and it didnt change anything speedo wise still 10 mph difference. Its wierd.. I ordered a new speedometer and see if thats the issue.

    Another Speedometer Question I know.. But couldnt find an solution

    1987 R10 just purchased for my 16 year old sons 1st vehicle. Ive been trying to get the speedo to show accurate. 700r4 - It has original sized tires (29") original 12bolt rear end 3:08 gears with a Red Drive gear (17 tooth). It also had a 36 tooth driven gear, which with a calculator is correct...
