new long block=low idle speed, rough idle

Aug 18, 2006 5 Replies

Can anyone give me some input. I just put a new 350 long block in my



1993 chevy K1500 PU. I had the intake manifold cleaned at a machine shop, New distrebutor, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, o2 sensor, fuel filter, thourghly cleaned TBI carburator, every thing tourqed to spec.

Has plenty of power and no noticible hesatation when cruising at any speed. Fuel pump was changed about 1 1/2 years ago. Starts right up. BUT does not idle worth a #@!&* . Bad in park, worse in gear. very bad when first stated in morning. Has been timed and re timed, all vacuume hoses checked and rechecked, idle speed control valve checked and cleaned. Please help with where to go from here.



what are the vacuum readings" How did you adjust the valves?

No, I checked that possiblity . thanks.

will do vacuum readings today. valves were adjusted at the factory and all looked good when rotating the engine. No clater when runing but will add that to my list as I run out of other possible solutions.
