1989 Comanche won’t idle unless babied to idle. Idles rough-ish.


Recommended Posts

So I recently get my Comanche back on the road after 18 years (yay!) but, I’m having a reoccurring issue.

 

If I cold start it, it will rev up to about 2k then drop to about 500ish, then it will stumble and jump to 750 where it will idle consistently. If you rev it up past 2500ish, when it drop back down, it will stumble then die. 
 

I’m not sure what would be causing this, as it runs great at higher rpm, and had plenty of power. 
 

I do, however, think it’s running rich, because it smells a tiny bit. 
 

things I’ve done so far:

new fuel tank

new fuel pump/sender

new fuel filter

removed the thermostat (old one corroded closed) 

new air filter.

refreshed the main grounds on the block.

it has plenty of pressure to the rail, and I’ve put about 50-ish miles on with no avail.  I’ve also ran sea-foam through it, which helped a tiny bit. 
 

I’ve already ordered new injectors, and will be installing them. I might also check the TPS, but I think it’s fine.

 

any help is appreciated.

Clean the throttle body, pull the EGR transducer and see if any of the 3 holes on it are clogged, look for vacuum leaks. 

Ok. I shall do that in the morning and report back if it improves anything.

 

Also, I love your suits, but it must be a pain getting a 65 extra fat, and a 12 dwarf.
