how was the drive from the island to ab? that car sat for years at that apartment .every now and then it would move .i work at the base just down the road from there.dfinitly a nice car . theres only a few ive seen on the island

Have you sold the throttle body yet?

Hi Im looking for some ideas on what to do about my injectors in my 1983.not only do they drip , the wires are in such bad shape they broke off right at the tb . I love this car and I found the fuelinjectionpro website and they seemed to have some options for replacing part of the tb. Are they good to deal with? Is there a less expensive alternative or an upgrade for around the same price? If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them,I cant drive this car without fixing this problem .thanks for your help

thanks ill give these things a try.i cleaned up the injector female connectors as well as the male connector .i found a crap load of rust in the tank and i dropped it and cleaned it out .i found a cool way to do it using salt water and a batery charger .worked like a hot damn .has anyone converted a 1983 to the newer comp and tb setup .ive got a line on the wiring harness and intake,tb and all sensors from a 1987 are the harnesses simular to the 1983?

im sure theres no clips on these injectors i think i might figure this out on my own 'ill post the results for the flattie owners

thanks matrap i'll give that filter a try didnt know there was one in there

dude the wires are fine ive had 140 cars have you had any fuel pum or injector problems before?

when i cleaned the tank i disconnected the fuel line off the tb and turned the pump on to get the crap gas out and nothing happened so when i bolted the fuel line back on i gained fuel pressure and the engine started

yeah im getting fuel ,spark checked the plugs which are ngk gapped right .ill try taking that filter out .it almost seems like the fuel pressure is not enough to arrive at #2 cycl its bizzare .is there problems with these fuel pumps that instead of just quitting they slowly lose pressure ? ive tried almost everything other than that filter and a pressure gauge on the tb im just hoping someones had a simimlar problem as this thanks

ngk gapped to spec but tried switching plugs all plugs are good lots of spark .tonight i might pull the tb apart clean the injctors and check the filter in back of car .its like im not getting any fuel to # 2 cyclinder has any body had a low pressure in your to not allow it to spray properly

the miss is bad take the plug lead off no difference in running rev to 3000 rpm sounds like its gone but not timings perfect

hey everyone! im new to this site and just bought a 1983 starion .just wondering this car was sitting for quite awhile before i bought it .when i got it home i drained tank,changed all vacume lines,plug leads ngk plugs distributor cap and rotor.i did a compression test and it was 125 psi across all cyclinders the number 2 cyclinder is the problem as has spark but no ignition. have any of you had a fuel delivery problem where 3 out of 4 cyclinders are firing except one .ive had a few 2.6's but not turbo or injected the spark plugs are all dry when i drained the tank ,i put new fuel in and left the line off the tb to purge the old gas out and it would not reach the tb until i bolted back on . any help would be awesome as im sorta stumped !
