TBI Throttle Body Tear Down and Rebuild.

[Swims350]

everything looks ok. I haven't seen or felt any leaks, spray pattern is cone shaped, like a fan spray instead of drips. It idles smoother then before, and has tons of pep it seems. Feels like just revving it up it has 50 more horses, sounds like it too LOL.

Now I can get back on track with the rest so I can take it out and run it.

And the brake issue?

 

[Swims350]

fixed, rear hose and adjusting the rears out more did it. Of course I changed everything, mc prop. valve all of it, then finally got around to changing the rear hose and that helped alot, but pedal traveled far so I tried to auto adjust by backing up, DS worked(new adjuster) ps did not, adjusted that side and got a nice pedal.

yep truck seems to be running good.

Still does the crap it used to, not sure if it's related or not. When it's ran and you shut it down, it will not refire, it has to sit for 5 minutes or so then it refires, when it won't it smells like it ran out of gas, and cranks very slow like the battery is trying to die.

It's always done this though.

Also died when we dropped it into reverse, later during the day, twice in a row, but refired, and was alright. I think that is due to my idle speed.

So basically it runs and drives fine, like it always has.

Timing isn't to far advanced?

Sounds like you need to do the big 3. Mine fired much quicker after I did it.

 

[Swims350]

good chance it is on timin i need to recheck.

big 3 was something i thought of doing anyways, stereo system and offroad lights on it.

There have been alot of guys remotely mounting their Ignition moduels on the firewall due to heat issues...dunno if thats what you are experiencing or not.
