well over the weekend im going to check again and see if has any vac leaks, and maybe get a new set of gaskets and try that. but if that dosent work what do you recommend?

hey 79YotaManDan the TPS and IAC are new.

 

ok i don't think its a timing problem cause if it was the whole header would glow, right?
and if it were the cat the whole header would glow, please correct me if im wrong

o and buy the way guy thinks for the help

 

not to be a wiseass here, but that's not entirely correct. running a true stoichiometric ratio is hotter than what most engines are designed to run at. starvation could definitely cause overheating like that. a slightly rich mixture actually helps to keep combustion temperatures down

i'm jumping on the "check the injectors/fuel system" bandwagon

 

If the injectors were going dead, he'd see a huge lack of power while driving, wouldn't you think? I know when I had bad injectors, I don't think I could break the speed limit on the freeway.

But yes, if you run lean, you can over heat. But at a idle they shouldn't be glowing red. Even if you just came off a hard WOT run, they head pipe should cool down from glowing red fairly quickly. I have never seen a single or a pair of cylinders on a 4 banger run lean enough at idle to glow a head pipe at idle and still run at a idle.

 

see thats what i thought but no i just dont know.

 

on the interstate it is hard to do 70 since i have 32's

 

i'd check out all your vacuum lines first. if they're all new you might have switched a few around.

 

i took them off one at a time. plus ive doubled checked were there supposed to go

 

have you ran fuel treatment or injector cleaner and its not always good to keep your tank full could be trash built up on fuel pump sock and a whole list of other probs

 

no i haven't tried that yet, my truck dosent stay on full long, due to all the driving i do.

 

and when you did all the head work did you make sure the crank stayed at tdc if not timing issues

 

yeah the timing is right ive checked it, and if timing was off the hole header would glow, somebody correct me if im wrong

 

what kind of sparkplugs are you using with the 8mm wires

 

im using ngk iridium. and the msd coil and big plugs wires have been switched back to stock for now, just trying to eliminate problems.

 

im still leaning toured bad or clogged injectors. but im going to double check my timing again and double check my vac lines this weekend

 

well i checked the vac lines there all good, i have not checked timing yet. but now the whole header is glowing, the other night it was just cylinders 1 an 2.

 

do you have a cat could be stopped up also

 

yeah i got a cat, but ive taken it out before and checked it i can see threw it so i guess its ok. but i think ima order some injectors this Friday wen i get paid. but soon my trucks either going to have a high flow cat or im going to take it out for good.

 

well guys i figured out the problem with my truck, come to find out i got a couple of burnt valves and the compression is really low in cylinders number 3 and 4. so i cant make up my mind on what to do, either take the head back off and put new valves in it or go ahead and rebuild the motor since im all ready half way there.

 

Is there someone who could possibly help me with my 22re shake? I resealed my motor. And threw a new head head gasket in. When everything was put back together it wouldn't start. You could hear it want to start but couldn't. So i pulled my distributor and turned it 180 degrees it turned over and started. Well it runs very very rough. I put a timeing light on number one plug and shined the light i couldn't see it. So i poped my head underneath the truck and the light was showing on the bottom. Any suggestions?
