mite want to check your idle air speed contorler. maybe it gummed up.
Hey BLF, it's an 87 runner, therefore it's EFI hahaha you oldschool carburetor boys ain't got nothing on me hahahahaha Let me say what hasn't been said, check your ground wires. Also check the connections at the alternator...
I am well aware it's EFI, I said idle air speed controller. not idle stop solenoid. no teck master biskets for you today! you young kids that can't read really make me
So what is that, the air bypass adjustment screw on the throttle body? Or the (hidden) air bypass screw on the air flow meter?
Directly behind the engine there is a ground strap going from the engine to the firewall, if it becomes loose, disconnected or breaks it will cause electrical havoc.
Not to sure what is causing my problem, but my truck is not really reliable driving around town anymore. The truck starts and runs fine most of the time, but whenever i turn something electrical on, the motor wants to die. For example I have an electric fan and I start the truck and turn turn the fan on, the idle drops way down and almost dies with a little foot action i can keep it running but it has died on me before. Also most of the time while driving the stereo will cut out for a second if I press the brake or turn the head lights on or use anything electrical that was not allready on. I had the alternator and battery checked out by both autozone and kragen and they both say they are good. Other than the little drop in power everytime I turn something electrical on there is also a sputter problem, it will run fine for a while then randomly the truck will act like it is starving for fuel and start jerking when this happens the tack goes crazy as well. This is probably not the fuel pump because i direct wired the fuel pump and it still happened. The electrical problem seems consistent until I have everything on including the heater then there is no problem at all it runs great. Even if it is in the middle of stuttering I put the heater on full blast and it stops it every time. Guys and girls I am REALLY confused on this one, I have been trying to figure this out for months. Please shed some light on this, i fear my only release is gonna be selling it and i really don't want to.
