Situation......
Newly rebuilt motor on my 1987 fj60.
Smog hardware removed.
Jim C. dizzy and carb. (recurved).
As it sits.... I have all vacuum ports on carb and intake plugged. It will run great with a little choke. When I push in the choke at idle, It dies. .
My question..... what are the absolute necessary vacuum lines needed to get this to idle without choke?
 
check your Idle Control SOLONOID / or fuel cut solenoid they do go bad

if so , it WILL cause your exact well described symptoms for sure

if its good then you know to move on to a different focus point of diagnoses



simple step by steps in the factory FSM manual too

here is some tech images of the part i mention in detail above

Well you get the prize..... It turned out to be a bad ground going to the solenoid.... Replaced the wire and it ran perfectly! Thanks.... Now...... I took it for a test drive..... out to supper and when i came out, it started hard, no more idle selenoid and no lights, no tail lights, brake lights or running lights..... Ugh!
 
check all your fuses !

and check them twice !

one or more has blown

a BAD idle solenoid WILL blow fuses in some cases

start here and there and report back ?


good luck

i like PRIZES ........ :beer::princess::princess::princess::princess:
