88 gone wild

[jaymegriffiths]

Well if the truck has been in your family the whole time, it might be easy to find out who did the bondo job. Looks like its new fender time. If it was running rich then wouldnt you have noticed your fuel milage drop alot?

So basiclly its giving to much fuel on start-up, which isnt helping an ignition system that needed worked one, and a brand new junk alternator, which hopefully it has a warranty on it. Did they get it started though?

i drove it to the shop this morning dude.
and i dunno what the problem is yet. ive read about something called a voltage regultor, anyone know if it exhists?
also, its been tossed around like the village bike so i dunno who did the bondo, and for a little while it was owned by some friends...
so im not concerned.
i'll fix the body once shes in good running condition and if its gonna be worth my while i'll "soup it up" haha ie bigger tires and new wheels, body work and paint i'd like to do myself, and exhaust and maybe a v8 one day.

The voltage regulator is on the inside of the driverside fender, under the hood, its like a 17 buck repair, I had to buy one when I put my 2.8 in because my 2.3 alternator had one built in.

It starts cold but wont start warm, that is the weirdest thing I have heard of, be sure to tell us what it is, just not the bill.

BTW nice avatar, should put the cobra engine as it.

so it needed plugs, wires and a fuel pressure regulater. 350 bux all in. also it has weak injectors so those will be taken care of maybe next month...

 

[dangerranger83]

Those are an easy fix, but if your replacing them yourself, put Vasoline on the O-rings to make intalation easier.

In all does it start better.

Got my bearing in, nothing much to write about but I put a picture of it up hopefully steering inkage is tomorrow, but knowing my luck, it will be Friday. Selling off more of my 2.3 so I'll have more money for my SAS. I need to look up fuel regulators to on ebay, so much to do. Might become a premium member, we shall see.

i wanna become a premium member so i can see where all the hilarious quotes on some peoples sigs started, as lots of them are in premium members only threads. btw yes, it starts good now. turns over like 1 time when cold and like 2-4 times when hot, dues to my seeping injecter

Seeping fluids is bad, whether its you or your truck.

ya but its 130 bux to have them purged, and new ones from ebay are prolly cheaper then that.
also, its running way better now that it has less than 48 psi.
also its good that i have a functioning block heater...
