Throttle Body Confusion

I had posted a post regarding a carburetor issue I was having with my Brave "falling on it's face" after warm-up. I'm not a mechanic and yield to the experts. The term Carburetor was used to me by professionals and so looking at the unit and listening to local professionals I had it in my mind that the unit was a carburetor but I was wrong. It is a throttle body injector that looks like a carburetor. I sent it to a speed shop and spent a huge amount of money and they got a Holly Unit tried to make it work then found out from Holly that unit would not work. They did some other stuff which has helped but I found a carburetor shop in my area that has a good reputation so I will send it to them when I can. I really believed in my mind based on the looks of the unit and what I was told by other professionals that it was a carburetor but they and I were wrong... Sorry.
  • It’s a P30 chasis not P32. I only come in a short time each month. Situation is ok. Will post if I need assistance. Case closed.
  • Check that fuel pump inside the tank, the hose inside the tank splits.
  • 1993 P32 chassis is throttle body injected. There are two injectors mounted on the throttle body. I believe your 'Professionals" are "want to bes" and are still amateurs.

  • Here is link to the original post.Previous post
    Many carb shops have difficulty working on TBI units.
    Suggest you go back through your previous post for better idea.
    Still sounds like the IAC is clogged or not working.
    Maybe rather then throwing more money get a replacement from a place like Rock Auto or O'Reilly auto parts.
