Re: 5.7 liter surging, dying, not starting for a while
ORACLE please help with thi question as stated earlier previous owner bought rebuild kit and installed and i just want to make sure everything is correct cause the bulletin i received does not state a fix and does not have my s/n number for the 5.7 liter 2 bbl it says my problem which is surge at 3000-4000 it says to replace venturi cluster 463 but that is 4.3 liter-- does that go for all that have this problem--- thenit goes to a 5.0 with a different problem?????
this is what i have
carburetor (rebuilt)
807312
5503
spring loaded needle and seat
spring loaded plunger
468 venturi
165 jets
is this correct????
does have purple/white wire but no knock sensor
i was told this is in fact a thunderbolt v ignition and still need to put in base mode and tweak.
engine
s/n number f769632
1996 5.7 liter v8
2bbl carb
went ahead with
plugs
wires
dist. cap
rotor
fuel pump
preventive maintenance since it didnt fix it!! lol
coil and coil pickup being replaced for piece of mind and a hopeful fix
need to open gas cap and try,, just thought of trying it
need to wrap aluminum fuel line and try and prevent a vapor lock if that is the case
if none of this fixes it then i gues i should have done compression and leak down test first would have saved some money for the real problem
please let me know if my carburetor set-up is correct and how do i set the float i have heard of setting it level and also measuring it per the specs in the service manual,,, how do i adjust it
choke is working correct and flaps are opening correct dripping from venturi cluster depending on throttle is this o.k.?????? sometimes drips after shutdown,,,
