Thanks man! I’m going to replace the seals and remove/clean the IAC and see if that helps. I did upgrade to the LT1 MAF and MAF translator about a month ago.

I took the advice here and borrowed a buddy’s smoke machine. I do have a leak at the throttle body shaft seal on the passenger side. I guess I better start there and see if that makes a difference.

Could a vac leak cause that big of an issue? As far as stalling out upon acceleration?

Hey Dylan, the gauge is an Auto Meter pro comp fuel pressure gauge, mechanical, liquid filled. Do those have a pressure relief on them?

I did replace the fuel filter and now the coil and module as well. No change. I am wondering if the TB or IAC is on its way out. I can start the car and it’ll idle, although slightly rough, but stay running. IAC numbers start at around 40 and drop to zero. I’ve tried adjusting and they bounce...

This engine was rebuilt last year, just broken in recently, while breaking it in it seemed to run fine. Didn’t have these issues until the last few weeks. Turbo is a TE44 with Red Armstrong pump, hot wire kit, and 60lb injectors. It is an original coil and module. Think it could possibly be a...

Hey guys, I’m opening this up again as the problem hasn’t gone away. I replaced the MAF with the LT1 MAF with translator. I had adjusted the IAC to normal levels and a few days ago was able to let the car run at idle, and it sounded fine. Was able to rev it up a few times without dying. Today, I...

I will try that first, thanks Mark

I’ll replace those items and go from there, thanks!

Can a bad MAF cause those numbers as well? Or Do you think they could be separate issues?

Hey guys, I’m having an issue with the engine shutting off all of a sudden. The engine starts right up every time and sounds fine. It’ll idle like normal for about ten seconds, start to sputter, and then die. Fuel pressure stays the same throughout. Checked throttle position sensor and is all...

Just checked it and it’s definitely pulling vacuum. I took the line off the back of the gauge as well and placed my finger over the line. I can feel it pulling vacuum. I’m wondering if I didn’t use a proper fitting at the gauge itself. I wouldn’t have to do anything to a brand new gauge, right...

Hey guys, I’m having trouble getting any reading on my vacuum/boost gauge. The car is an 87 GN. The gauge is brand new and the car did not have an aftermarket gauge on it previously. I T’d in from the hard metal line from the TB vacuum (2nd line that I’m pointing at in the pic) and the vacuum...

Yup still looking for one
