  • 1990 3.1 TBI still running rough

    my 90 APV is still not running right. its not a definite miss as it is just running rough, most noticable under part throttle operation. give me any idea of what to change and i will do it.

    so far i have done:

    refurbed injectors
    rebuilt throttle body with new regulator
    new cap, rotor, plugs, wires
    new exhaust including converter
    checked all wires
    checked all fuel lines
    new fuel filter
    new fuel pump
    new o2 sensor
    cleaned IAC and verified operation
    checked TPS and voltage went from .5 to 4 with no spikes along the way
    changed MAP sensor
    changed coolant temp sensor

    the only 2 things i can think of are a coil or ignition module getting weak? i get no codes, it is charging good and the battery is new.

    new development as of 20 minutes ago:

    i was driving it and it was good, but it started running really rough. as i slowed it started getting worse. i assumed converter lockup but got up to 50 and got it to lockup, and unlock with the brake pedal. when i stopped the van stalled. i unplugged the lockup just in case. it starts and runs fine in park or neutral, but go put it in gear and it stalls rather harshly. i got it home by pushing it down a big hill in neutral and putting it in gear, then not stopping at all on the way home.

    trans is a th125 3 speed auto.

    i can not figure this out, and i'm the only one i know around here besides paid mechanics(which we can not afford to take this thing to) who knows anything about TBI.

      The transmission cable on the throttle linkage may be out of adjustment. It could be possible that the TCC controller is malfunctioning.
