    1982 TPS Question

    You're probably ok. Reconnect the ground after you clean it. Are you sure it is a ground and should be connected?

    1982 TPS Question

    It was the TPS signal into the computer that was bad for me. Cleaning the connections was a real PITA but it had to be done. That was the problem, contact corosion/dirt. Extracting the pins out of the connector was tough. I needed to make a special tool that I could slide into the connector to...

    1982 TPS Question

    I bought a Collectors Edition years ago that had idling issues and hesitations. The short story is I cleaned every pin( male and female ) going to and coming from the computer. I cleaned the pc board edge connectors and tinned the copper to insure a good contact. The computer had been replaced(...

    I was returning home from my daughters' soccer game and she needed to attend a church event and I needed to get there quicker than normal because the time was close. So when, in a deserted stretch of highway, I bumped it well passed three digits, my daughter was a little concerned. I only stayed...

    Are tripowers kicking in??

    You can hook up a vacuum pump to the outer carbs and verify they move and don't have leaks.make sure they move and verify at what vacuum level that occurs.

    Are tripowers kicking in??

    Did you check the throttle linkage travel? Have someone press the gas pedal (car can be off) to the floor and you can confirm that the linkage has the full travel.

    wanted

    Over the years, I really haven't seen any other 82 Collectors Edition die cast versions. I bought the AutoArt version and yes it's pricey but the quality is there. It is a beautiful model with lots of very small detail and I am not dissappointed. The quality is very good with the Franklin Mint...
