nightwalkerancestery Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 secondary fuel injector or Fuel Pressure Regulator. Check injectors first. - Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFBMX88 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) What year? Sounds like its an auto? Oops, did the 87 run the injectors at the same time, or was it like the later years, running the primary first, then secondary as fuel demand increased?

mechengrkj Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Wideband is a Air/Fuel Ratio (AFR) sensor that tells you how rich or lean you are. As suggested above, since you don't have a wideband to check your leanness/richness, check the wiring and secondary injector. Have you replaced your injector clips or are they original? You can buy them from Dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabea101 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I never replaced or cleaned the injectors. Is there a tutorial with pics on how to clean them..Im not much of a mechanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightwalkerancestery Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) it's hard to clean them yourself. there's a way you run a strong mixture through them and pressurized and pulse them using a 9v. but it's worth just sending them off to be cleaned. check out Hurst Injector Service. I had him do mine and the guy was AWESOME. I think I paid like $32 and he kept in touch the entire time to give me updates on the progress and he's really easy to deal with. I know he's cheaper than most and he does top notch work. as for clips, I don't mean to take business from locals and guys here on the forum that serve us well, but I got some EV1 quick disconnects from eBay from the states and they're great quality, they clip and seal well, and it was only $10 for 4 clips with pigtails. it's up to you. I can provide the link for the clips I got if you decide to go eBay route. for the record...Randy sells great products and is a great guy and I support him entirely. - Charles Edited February 14, 2014 by nightwalkerancestery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, did the 87 run the injectors at the same time, or was it like the later years, running the primary first, then secondary as fuel demand increased? Same time injector firing ended with 86. 87-89 use the same system and injectors but ECU was changed in 88-89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightwalkerancestery Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) as stated before, if the clips don't fix the issue then send the injectors off to be cleaned. Hurst Injector Service is a great place. awesome guy, very good pricing, top notch work, and very quick turnaround. hurstinjectorservice.com. Even if the injectors turn up being fine it's still not a bad thing to have done for reassurance. I mean it's only $35 after payment and the small shipping fee. - Charles Edited February 24, 2014 by nightwalkerancestery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabea101 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 How long had this been going on? Just recent or what?recent...about 1 month. Another symptom is driving it and losing total power for about 1 sec then it kicks back in and then does it again with 1 sec intervals for about 20-30 secs....
