TBI problems we think
howdy Gang,
My friends 5.7L 1988 GMC pickup is running pretty rough. We did a compression test and all cylinder came out pretty even, less than 5 psi difference on one cylinder than the rest.
It had what looked like the original spark plug wires so we changed them.
New plugs, cap , rotor and fuel filter and oxygen sensor.
I aimed the timing light at the TBI injectors with the air filter off and saw the spray wasn't much of a spray more like a drizzle. So I replaced both injectors.
Now with the engine running and using the timing light there is a spray but it seems like there is alot of fuel. It still runs rough. If I disconnect one of the electrical plugs to the injectors it runs sort of better.
I don't have the timing specs but the painted mark on the vibration damper is right on.
Can we disconnect the battery to reset the computer?
Any ideas?
cheers

That is terrible, sad to hear about him.
