ellets Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 My 88gl is slowly grtting its problems resolved. Here is the latest one. It acts just like a carbed engine with no accelerator pump. Ie if you throttle with a cold engine it will quit and die. If you let up on throttle it will pick up to 1k rpm. Ne1 have something like this and resolved. (it runs fine when warm.) Here are most of what it has had done. timing kit jy fuel pump (good pressure) jy distributor new plugs and wires dist cap jy mas coil and ignitor from member tested good. and it is spfi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyman03 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Its just going to do that. The engine is just cold. The reason why it does it is because you are flooding it. Not directly and on purpose but because with a cold block the air is thinner. least thats how it was explained to me. somehow it makes a bit of sense. -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WASHroad Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Mileage on engine? Have you done a compression check on the cylinders? Is there any backfire through the throttle body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellets Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Millage unk guess 170k compression all cyl 160 or better no backfire but a weird kind of kickback then it will start. all timing and ignition replaced and settings triple checked. This tees me off as this engine always started easy even when temp was below freezing. as far as the comment of flooding engine if it is it must be in controler as this is spfi.

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I Kindly Suggest you to Check for Vacuum Leaks, Specially at the PCV ... the Problem sounds to me like a Stickin' PCV Valve. Kind Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellets Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Well I got it going. I rechecked timing belts and tighten them a little. Checked dist and set timing mark on flywheel to #1. put cap on and no go. to get it to start dist had to be set 180deg off??? finally after resetting dist about 3 times it suddenly fired up and purred like it should. New timing light came today so was able set ign timing. sounds good. has a cherry bomb on it. Now if only I can get legacy to run like that.
