changed lwr intake gasket and wont stay running

jamilla · November 21st, 2009, 09:44 PM

so just as the title states. My lower intake gasket was leaking and so I decided to replace it and now it won't stay running. starts, runs rough and than cuts out. can't rev or idle. spudders, misses, real rough. now it won't start. battery is fully charged w a jump box on it and the starter clicks. I have double, triple, quadruple checked all connections. WTF! I am losing my patience.

Timming sounds like a start

Lower intake man. could be warped if its not the timing

Also, to Cammedmysticcobra: I have read most of your recent posts, and every one of them was horse shit, useless babbling, or a repeat of something already stated earlier in the thread. Please shut the hell up. Thank you.

ok so i tried to set the timing and no luck getting it to stay. just when we get it good i let it idle for a min than shut it off. on restart it is back to bad no matter what i do. Could it have something to do w/ my tune? I mean can the chip tell it to do something else? I don't know what to do.

jamilla · November 23rd, 2009, 09:53 PM

sorry for posting first and searching later, but it appears I need to unplug a "spout"? what is this and where is it? It seems like that will stop the computer from readjusting my timing right?

1fst5.0 · November 23rd, 2009, 10:51 PM

yup

flyin ryan · November 24th, 2009, 12:28 AM

spout is a little jumper looking thing in the wiring pig tag that goes to the dizzy. It's right in front of the dizzy about six inches away from it.

jamilla · November 24th, 2009, 12:16 PM

so i remove that before I start the car and than set the timing turn car off and reinstall plug?

Yes, don't remove or install the spout connector with the car running.
