I just rebuilt my motor on my 1988 GT convertible. It ran really well, but it had a low oil pressure issue. Well i just fired it up the other night and it started fine, but it idles lumpy at about 800 rpm and it smells like its running rich.
The car is basically stock- the only adds prior to the rebuild were under drive pullys and a cold air intake. With the rebuild the only added changes were stainless headers, off road H pipe, new 19lbs injectors. Everything else is stock.
Now back to the issue- in reading the other threads it seems i should be looking at my coolant sensor, MAP sensor, Oxygen sensors, make sure the Vac line is on my fuel pressure regulator.
What am I missing? Is it possible that the lack of pack pressure is part of the issue? Any insights from you all that have more experience would be helpful.
Thanks
