My idel and rpm are all over the place.i checked the ignition control module, check out ok the cap and rotor it looks fine ,no cracks a little carbon tracking though.My plug wires are a bit to long and bound up close to each other. Could it be crossfiring?
One the vacum siloniods on ther right front side of the motor keeps clicking.
Any help would be aprriciated.
Thanks for your time.

 

Make sure you're not arcing your plug wires. If you got holes in the insulation you could be having an issue.

Check for a vacuum leak

Check your O2 sensor(s)


I assume this is a 5.7L TPI car?

 

thanks,it is the 5.7 but detuned with a quadra jet 650.All the vacum lines check out,not sure on the O2 sensor.
It has to be sum thing caused by the water,it was running stroung before I got the engine compartment wet. NOTE TO EVERYONE,dont wash your engine off with out MAJOR CARE!!! OR PAY THE PRICE,LOL.
Thanks for your time.
Oh,what do you think abought the coil?

 

maybe it is the coil...

wtf is up with yoru engine you switched the TPI intake for a quadrajet?

 

WD 40 will displace the water and can be sprayed on just about anything in the engine bay, including inside of the dist. cap. Or you could just let it dry out.

 

Yeah I know,its a lame setup.I traded my Honda 1974 CB550 ratbike,(kind of wish I kept my bike chicks dug it) for the car,it has 54,000 miles on the engine and a new 700r4 4spd just serviced last week they put in a new gov it was not kicking down like it should,it really made a bid dif..with many other new parts through out the car.
my plan is to turn the car and get what I wont.
I just need to get the thing running like it was before i washed the engine,you know I knew better than to sray off my engine,Its a case of asphalt,My own dumb asses fault,LOL.
Thanks for your time folks.

 

Was the engine hot when you sprayed it? That could possibly cause warpage. I think the most likely cause is the ignition system though.

 

OK,its fixed.it was the ignition I had a short/broke wire in the power lead to the coil,it was so small I did not see it till I took the wires loose a looked closely with a minimag light.
Im stocked,thanks for the help I saved alot of money,be taking my time and fixing it myself.YEAH!!!!Im high 5ing myself.
