turn your distributor cap left or right to see if its gonna hit. maybe your rotor button is burnt out. Worst come to worst its your distributor. check your oil pump regulator too.
i had an 87 Chevy s10 and it was doing that same exact thing at and idle it would push too much fuel and i changed the map sensor throttle positioning sensor and the whole works and then i decided to just change out the injectors and the fuel regulator. That fixed my problem hope i was some help
Try replacing the idle air control valve (IAC)
Yes you can no problem.
There are a few things that could cause an 87 Chevy Astro to idle high when it is started and warmed up. It could be a bad fuse, a leak in the vacuum, or an issue with the throttle.
The first thing that you need to do is check the FUEL pressure and fuel filter.
i needi have an 87 4 +cylender 2.5 Chevy s10 pickup and need the timing diagram in order to get it running. can you help?
An idle problem could be a number of things like a vacuum leak or a dirty EGR valve. If the check engine light is on take it to an auto parts store and have them read the error code set in the computer.
on my 87 Chevy caprice just happen today, my car would idle for a while then die. Turns up my carb was bad. Changed the carb, ran like new again.
Look for an intake manifold leaking at a cracked or disconnected hose or one of the gaskets to the cylinder head or throttle body.
The idle control solanoid is bad or dirty,could be hung open. the base gasket under the TBI could be blown or cracked. NEUTZ
what is the valve settings surposed to be for a 87 s10 chevy pickup 2.8 ci
Hi Dave,I have a 1989 Ford F150, 8 cyl. I had a similar problem where I would start my truck and it would die almost immediately. Anyway, I also replaced several things, but the thing that did it was the fuel pressure regulator. You don't say what type of car or truck you have. But it doesn't sound like it is like mine exactly. You could have gotten a bad fuel pump. How long since you had a tune up? How about spark plug wires, rotor? It could be misfiring.AnswerCarburator? Get a new car! AnswerMy friend had the same problem. He had to replace an air sensor. Or maybe you need some carb tuning. AnswerMy dad was having the same problem with our 95 Chevy Corsica. I'm about 99% sure it was a bad spark plug. Just as a thought. My 87 Thunderbird had the same problem. I tried adjusting the idle, didnt help. I ended up replacing the idle speed actuator on it. Which is a sensor, located right behind the idle control bolt. This fixed my problem. If you are still having the problem, maybe consider the sensor.
