Re: 1989 5.8 shift problems

Withe the esa unplugged it does the same thing. I am guessing that my timing is off. I will adjust timing Monday and see if that helps with rpm issue. I am allso going to pull drive and double check the shift cable.

I gave you the timing and idle RPM specs back on post#17. Make sure the idle speed is down before setting the timing.
