No heater in Costa Rica? I mean makes sense unless the blower is mounted some where other than the firewall.

I think it is for the guard that go around the rear lights, best guess anyway. I'll see if I can get a picture of mine.

I never got a single code for the map sensor, and I wish downy was still around they made some good stuff. I have a set of their shackles that open, they work pretty good, gets another 4-5" of droop out of the rear end. I drove around all day yesterday with no issues but it really seems the...

Well got the problem solved this morning. It was the map sensor all along. Put the new one in and it ran better from the minute I turned the key to start it. Now it's instant throttle response, no stumble and pulls hard from idle to red line. Thanks for all the help, I still plan on having my...

Ya I want to get it running decent at a stand still and then I will take care of moving issues lol. The vss has a lot more of an impact with an auto trans than a manual I would imagine, like spotcruiser was saying before.

Good to know with the jtr kit. I probably won't get one of those until I get the motor running better, and I don't have an ebrake so I won't have to deal with that issue when it comes time. And I ordered a map sensor today just to try it of course they didn't have an acdelco one in stock at any...

Hey Elbert, Jim from Jim's performance was kind of thinking the same thing then just threw the whole idea out. I think I am going to pick one up just to see. Worst case I have a spare map sensor kicking around. It kind of sounds like a similar issue that you had. Someday I will get the reluctor...

Using a gm harness that has all the unnecessary stuff taken out. Thanks for the help so far guys, I'll keep you updated with new ecu. If anything else comes to mind let me know.

Right, ecu programmed for bare minimum engine management only. No codes present at this time. I should have another ecu in a few days, at this point it seems like that is the only answer. It's like the ecu is getting the signal from the tps and using it in the wrong way.

Out of a 99 I believe, and the harness and computer are the same year as far as I know. I know I needed the vats removed so at least a 98 computer

Checked the o2 sensors and seems everything is in order, assuming bank 1 is driver side. If that not the case then they are swapped but I'm not really sure that's the issue because it seems to run pretty good without the tps plugged in.

thanks, ill take a look, but i only have two o2 sensor connectors. the secondaries were removed by jims performance when they re worked the wiring harness. i will still make sure i have the right ones there. i just got off the phone with jim from jims performance and he is sending me another...

just finished putting a vortec 350 in my 76 fj40, for the most part everything worked out great but i am having some issues with how the motor is running and cant seem to find a straight answer anywhere. my issue is when i have my tps plugged in i get a really bad stumble off idle if i tab the...

Pretty sure no 4 speeds have an OD, but you could swap to a h55 transmission, 5 speed with an OD. I'm sure if you do a search on the swap you can find out everything you need to know.

Did you try using your old injector that worked in place of the new one that wasn't working?
