Sounds like your throttle positioning sensor is going south or already gone ;) On a DVOM, it should read .525 +/- .075 at closed throttle across the middle and bottom leads on the TPS.....They're very easy to replace; just 2 screws ;)

It should be a pretty straightforward procedure once you get the passenger side cover off. :thumb:thumb

I noticed the other day that there are 3 different pintle shapes on the IAC valves for the '84 in the shop manual. My questions for the group are these: 1) How can I tell if I have the right pintle for my TB's? 2) what are the differences on these pintles?

Don't forget to block the IAC ports with something....I use a cut up knee pad carved to fit the kidney shaped holes :thumb

Happy belated birthday Rob and thanks for all you do around here..... :birth :beer

Somehow I think you might be disappointed with the results. There is a color card that produces the colors you see now...changing the LED's might have a different effect on the color layer of the module. I don't remember what pin outs would give you power up on the module but Batee.com has all...

Glad you got it all sorted out....:happyanim:

Sound like your TPS sensor (Throttle positioning sensor) is in need of adjusting. It's located on the drivers side TB (throttle body)...this is a simple adjustment with a DVOM (digital volt/Ohm meter) and a FSM

This is going to be the new great American wicked mobile. Those numbers are almost downright scary :thumb:thumb

retvett is right; you really need to have a factory service manual (refered to as an FSM) to refer to. Then you need to pull the codes.... from what you're describing, my money is on fuel pressure......;)

Along with what WhalePirot mentioned, you might check the idle air control valve and your EGR valve; they've been known to create symptoms like you described...good luck with it

I would have been as far away as possible....from all the cars ;)

The alarm setting device is connected to the door lock...the only way I know how to reset the alarm is to use the key on the drivers door...I'm not sure if disconnecting the door switch will disconnect the alarm or not...

First of all, welcome to CAC....:cool!: My money is on the ignition switch down on the column...the "spring back" you're refering to is in the switch, but I would suggest getting a factory service manual and do the checks to pin it down the easier way; it beats throwing good money at the...

My friends 40th aniv. ruby went on the block yesterday with Russo and Steele....I was shocked how far prices have dropped; he only got $5500.00 for that beauty of a ruby :confused

LOL....I was thinking the same thing. There is no way it could have happened and I hope no one was hurt but it was a riot to read. Thanks for sharing Rob.

WP, I've admired your ride from the gate, and I have to thank you for the photos; I got to see how that beauty went together :happyanim::cool!:

:rotfl:rotfl:rotfl I was just about to say something in those lines ;)

Welcome to CAC :beer Just what Mac said...especially G101 which is on the passengers kick panel side :thumb

Monsoon season is not a good time to be driving around in such a low profile vehicle....not to mention the stupidity of trying to drive through a road that's washed out....
