drove it this morning found out that if i put it in nuetral when coming to a stop the truck wont stall, it will stay running really dont know where to go with this thing now

Ok that's good to know, I'm gonna replace it as soon as I can. I really am getting frustrated with this damn thing. It's diffuult to diagnose. Fixing it is no issue if I could just figure out what's wrong with it.

I thought the same thing at first but I opened the throttle some while trying to start it and it just kept spinning over not firing. Eventually it fired up so I didn't think it was the iac motor after that. But at this point I might just start replacing stuff for the hell of it. I've got a spare iac motor at the shop. It will be goin on this weekend

Found out today that when it stall if I turn off the ignition and let it sit for 30 to 45 seconds it fires back up immediately. If I try to restart it immediately its very hard to start. This makes it difficult to see what it's lacking (fuel/spark) causing the stall because the time I go to check what's wrong nothing will be wrong and it will start immediately. So I'm kinda stuck not knowing what to do now.

 

im not sure if they made 2wd poptops. ive never seen one.

looks good. like the color

I really don't wanna throw parts at it yet. I'm gonna try to go through some diagnostics and see what I can find. The thing I don't understand is that I drove it all day today no problems then drove into town stalled once, finnaly got it restarted cleared it out and it was back idling fine. Didn't do it any more after that, as with the transmission leak I'm gonna try to inspect the case itself and if I don't find any problems there I will get a new o ring seal and try to carefully put It in one more time.

 

yea the tube is held in by a bellhousing bolt. ive used two people on it already one to hold it in and one to tighten it. im gonna give it one more try. the truck doesnt have any codes just 12 (battery recently disconected) and 55 (end of codes). im thinking that its an injector sticking and flooding it. but it doesnt do it all the time, only every now and then when coming to idle. i dont have the equipment to check the spray pattern. other than that issue the truck runs perfect.

that a great rc to work with, you got a deal on that thing. good luck with that thing man. i feel your pain right now im fighting issues with both of my rc's

havent got a chance to look at it yet. im hoping its not to bad. gonna finnaly put the headers on ive had them for months, also got a new carbuuretor for it. im still fighting tranny leaks on the 89. it likes to leak around the dipstick tube were it goes into the case. tried new gaskets and several tubes. leaks everytime. the TBI is also giving me some problems, it  acts like it loading up with fuel, it dies at idle and is very hard to restart, acts like is flooded, have to hold it on the floor to start it and shoots out lots of black smoke. oh well time to get the tools out ive got some work to do.

Here's a little update on the trucks. The 89 LE is now on the road full time. Drives like a brand new truck. The 85 ramcharger is currently down. Broke something in the rear end so that's gonna get fixed and I'm throwing on a few upgrades to it. Hope to have it mobile again soon.

The TBI 318 in the 89 ramcharger. Fired it up for the first time in a long long time. Runs perfect.

Thanks. The 89 LE is very close to being road ready got it moving under its own power again and at a perfect time because something broke in the rear end of the green 85 rc so now it's gonna be down for alittle while. Money is very limited right now so doing what I can with what little money I've got.
