1987 TBI problem
« on: March 05, 2011, 03:30:18 pm »
Truck is 87 Chevrolet K10 TBI 350 and at about 1/4 throttle the engine starts to stumble.  At idle and past 1/4 throttle truck runs smooth.  Need help ASAP!

Its most likely a vacuum leak.  Check around the tbi manifold gaskets for leaks.

Check the TPS and check for codes. Do a search on those key words if you don't know how to do it as it's been discussed many time here.
