Ok....I'm back with another problem from the car from hell lol. Same car that was in another thread I started about a possible stuck injector. For those that didn't see that one....I'm working on a car that has sat for a long time. Many have worked on it but it has never ran. I got it running pretty good now but another issue has popped up. Car is a 85 with a 4.1 and a 87 conversion with a new caspers harness.
Car idles great, runs wot at 20 psi pretty strong. But the damn headers glow on the drivers side when idling. Fuel pressure is correct, stock 02 numbers look good, idles and starts great. Drives great too. Plugs look clean. I'm thinking its a timing issue. I replaced the esc and no change. In fact, the idle rpm doesn't change when the esc is unplugged...not sure if its suppose to though. I need to put a timing light on it to see if the timing is moving like it should when running. Anyone else ever had this?
