Alright guys I just got my new motor in my camaro, and it runs but when I shift from Park into any gear it stalls.

This is a 90 RS, that was TBI but is now Carb 350, and a 700R4.

I bought the car with no engine, and put this one in, what is it doing guys?

Thanks

 

What RPM do you have the idle set at? Unless there is something wrong with your tranny, a low idle RPM is the only thing I can think of.

1500, oh yeah...it doesnt matter if the tv cable is hooked up does it?

 

Timing set right? Mixture Screws and Float level set? Is there fluid in the trans? Thats what I'd check first. Then I'd move on to to the trany and wiring (you never know back up lights or nuetral saftey could be shorting something out). Also what did you do for the fuel system Trying to suck fuel through an existing in tank pump with a mechanical fuel pump doesn't work and causes the car run out of gas and stall under load as I found out when I put the 305 in my camaro

 

It sounds like a vacuum issue. Are all of your vacuum ports on the carb plugged if not being used?? And are all of your other vacuum connections secure?? How about the intake to block seals a each end of the block, these can be a major PITA! Is your carb seated securely to the manifold? Good luck.

 

Um....yea. The TV cable is pretty important. And that idle is set way too high (although unless it was set too low, it shouldn't have anything to do with the stalling).

Right now I'm using stock pump for the tbi unit, run up to the mech. pump on the side of the block, then up to the carb, I have a FPR if thats what I need to run instad of the carb unit slowing it down.

Think that could be it?

 

I've got a Edl. Performer Intake and then a spacer, then a q-jet...Have not found the right bracket yet.

 

Yea, I feel ya there. I am still trying to get a bracket to work on with my performer/qjet combo....I'll try to keep you in mind if I find something that works.

u have a fuel pressure guage anywhere to monitor the fuel pressure??

running an electric pump to a mech. pump to the carb w/ no FPR is giving that carb way too much fuel pressure.

i would try just using the stock fuel pump w/ a regulator w/ the pressure at 5-6 lbs.

o yea,then try bringin the idle down to about 650-700.

 

tcc lockup is stalling the motor.

 

Do not drive your car, or leave it in gear without the TV cable hooked up, and correctly set.

Its not just a kick down cable as with a TH350/400. You can cause permanant damage within by driving just 1 block with no TV cable.
