Dave, I agree my problem is most likely TPS related. I have a service
manual but it doesn't list an TPS adjustment procedure. I might be able to
find something on Google. Thanks.
BTW, do you have a brother or relative that goes by JJ?

Dont
quote me on this, as I don't have any FI setups of my own, but I think there
is something where the TPS needs an adjustment. At any given position,
the TPS gives off a certain voltage signal and that it needs to be
adjusted to a specific range with the throttle closed. You'll
need a digital multimeter to do it. My friend who I remember telling me
about this isnt home (I just tried calling). Look around for a procedure
for replacing the TPS and you might find the info. Hope this gets you in
the right direction.

Roger that!

Herb, If you figure this out let me know. We've got exactly
the same problem on a '90 Ram of my Dad's. Same deal on the idle
adjustment too, you can't change it.

question
Before I start driving my "new" 87 Jimmy every day, I'd like
to fix one small problem, maybe someone on the list can point
me in the right direction.
The engine is a TBI 350 (I've never had a TBI before). It
runs great, but occasionally, when you take off from a stop the engine
will stall. Fortunately it starts right up so the stalling is more
of a nuisance but I'd still like to fix it.
The previous owner said he replaced the Throttle Position Sensor
and rebuilt the distributor. I think there's something wrong with
the TPS or TBI itself. If I hold the rpm just above idle while
holding the brake, it won't stall, but if I just let it idle where
it's set it's more likely to stall when I take off. I was
going to raise the idle to see if that helped, but I didn't see an idle
adjustment screw.
If anyone has any experience with a TBI or has any suggestions I'd
really appreciate it. Thanks.
