Idle air control valve?

Sir I owe you a case of whatever your favorit beer is that pic will undoubtedly save me alot of frustration and trouble.

Thank you ever so much for sending it too me.

Keith.

Well I got the new injection in but I have thus ran into two problems. One I think being huge.
1: I have no information telling me where each injector plug/poppet valve goes where no numbers or letters nothing.I dont want to blindly start plugging them into the wrong port. I was wondering if anyone has a detailed diagram/layout showing where each injector plugs into its proper port
2 on the electrical connector that attaches to the top of this assembly I found some black sticky goop that almost completely coats the entire connector. Is this some means of protection/insulation for the connector? And if so can anyone tell me what it is and where to find it and if it is critical to the correct re installation of the new injection system?
Any and all answers or help is greatly greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Keith
working on a 1995 Chevy Astro with bad injection problems

I got everything back in and its looking good, with no leaks or odd explosions of any sort lol. But now im at the stage where I need to bolt the upper intake plenum back on and I need the torque specs and bolt tightening sequence badly

again any information would be greatly appreciated and all the info from everyone thus far is thanked for a million times over.

Keith

Ok now something is rotten in denmark,

i did everything like I should of and was told, installed the new injection system exactly like the old one, torque everything down properly, replugged all the sensors, reconnected the throttle linkage, put on a new coil and rotor, installed a new EGR but when I went too crank it today after checking and double checking and triple and 4th time checking, IT WILL NOT START.
I dont have a fuel pressure gauge so I dont know if im getting the proper fuel pressure to the new injection (heard it was between 45 and 65psi) would any new problem show up on a scanner? Its not even acting like it wants to start, no thumping of the cylinders or anything. Just sits and spins when I hit the key.

I simple cannot figure out why it wont start
any ideas guys?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated

thanks

Keith.

Ok I forgot a few things from my last post a few min ago

i cleaned the upper intake port with some MEK because one of the holes (the on closest to the EGR thats about the best I can explain it.)
was almost completely blocked by carbon build up,
I poured just a tiny tiny amount of MEK(read it was the same thing in gumout carb cleaner), about a table spoon into it. After some set time all these big ping ball sized chunks and nuggets of carbon came falling out after I let it set for about 10 to 15 to work and a 2 days to dry out, the MEK cleaned the gunked up hole like crazy but im wondering if it might of damaged one of the sensors resulting in it not being allowed to start
also there was some black tar like goop on the electrical connector for the new injection since most of the gunk left with the old injection I used black ATV sealant.I connected the connector made sure it was good and locked down, then shot a bead around it figuring it would protect it from any kind of leak. Could this of been a mistake as well?

Ive went over every single connection, and I just cant figure out why it wont start,

if anyone has an idea please please let me know.

Keith.

No I didnt replace the coil, just the cap and rotor, I held the "coil" wire against a bolt stud and hit the key and got a good solid arc. Its just not firing for some reason.
It will do a funny kinda hesitate afer it runs through a few cycles. Kinda like it "seizes" but wont fire off. Sorry but its very hard to describe.

Im thinking perhaps I got my plug wires mixed/ on wrong or I don't have enough pressure to the injection system(they said the poppet valves wont open till 45 psi). But if anyone has any more ideas please let me know. This is only the 3rd car I have ever worked on. Im used to a 89 ford Thunderbird and a 85 camaro berlinetta and that is the extent of my automotive knowledge.

Thanks for the info guys.

Keith.

Yep real strong bluish white spark.

Well I got it too start, was a simple mix up of the plug wires, but I still have two problems

1: im still getting fuel alll down in the oil pan, when I do the screwdriver trick and use a stethoscope I can hear it trickleing

2 its stuttering for some reason, im thinkinging this is caused by bad plugs, going to change them tomorrow

does anyone have any ideas why the fuel would be getting down into the oil? Cause im at a loss on this one.

Thanks for all your input and please keep it coming

thanks

Keith.

I used the steth all over the engine, upper intake is where I hear the trickling sound the most and the clearest, and it does sound like running water, but I have changed the oil 3 times so far in the last few weeks, (dont want any explosions) also my white smoke problem persists, was told it might be steam from coolant getting into the combustion chamber, but the thing is its been cold the past few days, steam is hot and I would think it would rapidly vanish in cold air, this white smoke does not vanish but lingers on for quite some time, im thinking that its not steam but something else, but cant figure out what would cause white smoke, gasket burning, junk burning? Perhaps somethin in the catalytic converter burning?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

keith.

Yeah its smelled like gas bad all the times I have changed it. It was really bad with the old injection system, with this new injection system its not as bad but still there enough to cause problems.I simply cant figure out how the fuel is getting into the oil with a new injection system installed.

I didnt know that the tranny could be the cause of the white smoke, are there any other symptoms that could help diagnose if the modulator valve is indeed bad? Like bad shifting, hurky jerky shifting at speed? No shifting at all etc etc, I haven't gotten it out on the highway yet to see what other problems are lurking in here. Just been driving it down to the store for groceries since the new injection was in. But at 20 and under it seems to be shifting fine. But who knows what its going to do at 70.

Thanks guys

Keith.

I havnt gotten around to changing the plugs yet, but will keep that in mind, and since im on a fiber optically thin budget it might be a while before I get the fuel pressure tester, dont even have the cash to rent it right now. Life suck without a car and it sucks more when you dont have a job.

As a side note how to if find out what kind of tranny I have.I was told that if its a 4L60E there would be no modulator, but I havt no clue what I have and dont feel like dropping it to check out some numbers. Is there a quicky route I can take?

Thanks guys

Keith.
