Re: 1990 camaro 5.0 running rough when cold
How many miles do you have on the car? Can we can rule out any internal problems such as unadjusted valves? U have no check engine light on? sounds like you might have a big air leak...check your vaccum hoses for any holes or whistling sounds....retighten the tbi unit down to the manifold....check the bolts on the intake manifold while ur there... check your fuel pressure...your fuel pressure regulator might be going south... If you have two injectors check that there both dropping fuel...Check the flow of gasoline coming out of the throttle body units...should be nice strong mist in a cone like flow...u might have dirty injectors or a faulty injector ...add a good high quality gas cleaner to the gas tank...u didnt say that u replaced the air filter...check for any holes on the air intake duct leading to the TBI assembly... others will chime in let us know what the problem was please..
