Suuper rough running....
First off, thanks a to n tim for starting a new forum! Its been a bit since Ive done much with my 87 4x4 and Im glad to have a choice in forums. I parked my van about 3 years ago when the brake master failed and went out to start it every 2 to 4 weeks to warm it up and and such. The last time (bout a year ago) I spaced putting stabil in the gas that I dumped in the tank. That fuel ran out and I didnt start it for quite awhile. Put gas in the other day and tried to start it and it rouns waaaay rough. Like, wont hardly run at all, sounding like it got alot of water in the fuel.I put in line dryer, ran it best I could popping, backfiring sputtering like crazy. I sounds like its flooding and has nothing on the throttle.Sometimes I can nurse it up to 3000 rpm plus but even there it missing bad and wont hold an rpm. as it warmed up it would hold rpm a little better down to 1500, but always nursing the throttle. At time I cant get it to do more than sputter for a couple seconds before it dies. One wierd thing is if it popping along at say 200 rpm but the throttle is past that and I let off, it sounds good for a sec as the throttle runs down to the rpms its running then falls off again. Does that make sence? its tough to explain any other way than it sounds like water. I put another 3 gallons in it with a strong dose of sea foam thinking I had something gummed up but no help. Has anyone heard of this stuff caused by a bad cat? Maybe fuel filter(havent done that yet)? I had the tank cleaned and lined when I put a new pump in when I got it back in 07. The check engine light isnt on, and I cant tell which connector, or what side of it Im supposed to jump to get my codes. Now on top of it I busted the fusible link in the box in front of the batt. AND THATS ANOTHER QUESTION. Couldnt I just put an 80 amp breaker or fuse in place of it there? I was selling her since Im broke and need the room, but I love the turtle am not sure I can part with her.
