1992 Roadmaster engine troubles.
Hey there everyone, My fathers roadie has been giving him hell recently not wanting to run. He says the car starts and runs, But wont take throttle. And will die at idle after trying to give it throttle. The fuel pressure is 12psi.
He has replaced the Ignition module, Coil, EGR module(NOT VALVE), TPS, O2 sensor, And MAP sensor. And nothing. I was reading around the net and I think it is the FPR.... Anyone have any ideas? Thank's a bunch in advance. |

Re: 1992 Roadmaster engine troubles.
Don’t get discouraged when you remove the old one and you see nothing wrong with it! They fail without any visible signs of failure! Strange, I know!

Re: 1992 Roadmaster engine troubles.
Just got done putting in the new FPR and it did nothing. Anything else? I am thinking about just getting him to get rid of the money pit of a car.

Re: 1992 Roadmaster engine troubles.
I may be wrong here but is not the 92 RM equipped with a 350 Chevy port injected engine which will not run on 12 psi, pointing to the fuel pump.

Re: 1992 Roadmaster engine troubles.
It is a TBI 350, Not a TPI. The factory manual we have says 9-13psi and we have a little over 12.

Re: 1992 Roadmaster engine troubles.
Hmmm. I thought it was 11-13 on a TBI except for the 350s. I guess I was mistaken. I know the 350s had larger Maxi injectors.
Does fuel pressure maintain once the throttle is cracked? Are the injectors spraying a fine cone of atomized fuel, or just streaming/dribbling? It you keep the throttle closed but manually operate the lever on the TPS (pretty easy on a TBI), does the idle increase? What is the base timing?

Re: 1992 Roadmaster engine troubles.
In 1992 the Roadmaster got a 5.7-liter V8 engine that developed 180 horsepower & 300 ft lb TQ. It is the same motor as the 350 Chevy Truck motor (LB5) TBI used in the 88-93 models. It has a distributor, not an optispark. Have you change the distributor cap & rotor? How about the fuel filter?

Re: 1992 Roadmaster engine troubles.
Have good fuel pressure, Put in a whole new dist today. We found it has intermittent spark on 1 and 2. What could it be? We think it has to do with the ESC.

Re: 1992 Roadmaster engine troubles.
Have you replaced the ingition wires? The ESC would affect all cylinders. BTW, you can have good fuel pressure without adequate flow. Have you changed the filter?

Re: 1992 Roadmaster engine troubles.
We changed the 2 wires that were intermittent and it didn't change anything, The fuel filter is new aswell.

Re: 1992 Roadmaster engine troubles.
Also, Pressure maintains when you crack the throttle. The injectors are spraying a fine cone till you try and give it throttle then it sputters. And when you unplug the TPS the idle increases.

Re: 1992 Roadmaster engine troubles.
What is the voltage on the TPS blue wire with ignition switch on? Check the grey wire also.
