... car back together, it is running very poorly. I suspect it is a lean condition as the catalytic converters are getting almost cherry red with heat before the engine reaches operating temp. The engine also runs very rough and will not rev up past what I suspect is about 2,500 rpm. I say suspect ...

... the TPS for more than just acceleration? I know there are other issues that might cause problems like the volumetric eff is way different than before and the use of a different throttle body (the center butterfly is active, the outside ones are closed off) may have a diffent flow curve than ...

... gone up and down the scale from 0-25. It seems that the Dist. is stock. and thought I would have 10* timing but I could not see the mark. There before I went searching for the mark by changing the numbers on the timing light. Can anyone tell me why this is so?

I've heard of guys running low 20's before, but not with stock motors. I run about 17*-18* in mine when I go to the track, about 14*-15* around the street.

... Now the needle is on the low side of "R" and goes up to "L" when in traffic. I told the dealer here in Florida what was done before, and even had the removed parts. They checked the fan control and said the fan is turning on at the right temperatures, the coolant was about ...
