Been following this channel since 2012, i remember vinny and all the others. Glad to see y'all are still making videos with quality content. would love to support in anyway to keep content coming!
This man sounds just like me. Ticked off having to work on a different thing than what I started on. This was a big help though on troubleshooting my carb.
That was awesome hot pants & hot car's just as I remember it great job loved every minute of it!!!! Thanks Jimmy & to you both for the great footage remember it well thanks again!!!
I have a Holley 4 barrel on the HO 302 engine that a previous owner put in the 66 F-100. After I bought it 2 years ago it ran worse, turned out that the secondary fuel level was way low, affecting the idle, etc. I learned how to adjust the levels but had to buy a little Holley kit just for the float adjustment with new gaskets. I use Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas tank. I wonder if that would help things like sticking needle and seat as it is good to lube.
I have had some experience with the tbi, check your fuel pressure. If memory serves me, it’s 13psi with a minimum of 10. I’ve also seen the ECMS give issues as well. GM actually had a smack test, lay the Ecm in one palm, and smack the crap out of it with the other, then see if it would run. True story. Those ECMS are cheap and we’re at one time readily available. I’ve also had problems with the coils going open when it gets hot. If it’s an OEM coil, I’d say replace it just for good measure at this point anyway. Craziest thing I found with my sons recently, doing a fast and dirty test, it had spark, but it wasn’t sufficient spark. Cars drive me crazy, we’re just gluttons for punishment. 😂
Dear Jeff and cam thankyou for this awesome saterday tech tip hahha. Can you tell us what you guys use to raise Rpm when the Aircon is switched on since i did not see the soilnoid on the carb in this video or iam i mistaken
Holley offers an A/C solenoid: Holley carburetor parts, Holley 46-74, Holley 20-9. The Cleveland doesn't seem to mind it so much with the Sanden, I would recommend one with the stock style for a Ford though.
Another problem with holley flooding is air bleeds ,the 4 little holes on each side on the top of the carberator they can get clogged and act just like a needle and seat problem
@@AutoRestoMod happened to me blow the holes carb cleaner shop air and 3 of the four blow through 1 did not after little more air bam! Clear no more flooding over on to the top of my engine down intake
Diagnostics can be a nightmare. On my truck i have a random vacuum drop & power valve opens & it won't even move .i have changed literally everything but the intake manifold & piston rings & it still seems to be happening. & i doubt all the rings are sticking at the same time. Im literally changing the intake as i type 🤞
I had a problem similar to your suburban. It would idling all day, but if you started to drive it it would stall out after a few minutes. It had a pussy willow stuck in one of the fitting of the fuel line. You might have an obstruction in your fuel line as well.

I was adjusting floats on my holley every other weekend. The fix was an Elderbrock carb.
Love my Edelbrock.AVS 2

I love that wagon damm
Us too. Much more presence with the new Precision Exhaust. Still need to get the tail pipes sorted.
@@AutoRestoMod put in tucked side pipes exiting infront of the rear tyres ??😀😁
yep, taking off the bowl is definitely the best approach

Dunno if the marvel would stay lubrious< my word...to do a job.
Brings back memories of the toll booth in DC.
Can't wait to see the wagon make some smoke. Keep at it! Cheers!
I have run into the o-rings on the needle/seat sets that come in the rebuild kits you get in the performance section of Orielly's/Autozone being bad.
good info... btw i used to have a 90 suburban like that...i LOVED it!
Just a possible guess Jeff, could it be a bad relay for the efi on the suburban, where it could run until the relay gets hot then fails?
Have you been able to drive the car with the 4R70W trans .Hopefully this summer my Torino will be up and running with the the 4R70W .

They Did NOT say to wack it
@@CT_Taylor ok, neither did I.
When you replace a needle/seat remember to apply a drop of oil on the O-ring or it could tear cause they are tight when new.
Good point! I usually put some fuel on mine.
Check the tps and iac sensors on suburban I have an 88
Ever had one intermittently drip from the secondary boosters at idle?
Nope. But I would suspect a vacuum issue of some sort.

Thankyou so much, if you dnt mind at what rpm does it sit at idle ?

What???? When did you guys get the wagon going? How's the 4r70w?
It's only ish going. We are getting a error code that we want gone. Until then I have it grounded.

That is an odd one!
Could you replace the TBI with a Holley Sniper? Just going for my chance to sound stupid this morning lol.
I'd honestly just go carburetor at that point. Cheaper.
Gas swelled o ring then dried which sealed it ?😅
Something like that
That mustang in the back looks like mine. But mine is a coupe and not a fast back lol
dude...that wagon is playing games with you...
are you going to repaint the wagon?
I suggest good ol Rangoon!
That's the plan! We'll go back with the factory Candy Apple Red.
Halló how do I contact you

Holley 600 gas blows out the rear vent tubes. New
Coming from a Chevy hater; if you want to fix that 'Burb' get assistance from Winchester Engineering. ;)
