  • Engine surging and injector question

    Great site! I've done alot of reading and learned quite a bit, but nothing that helps so far.

    I've got an '87 S10 Blazer with a 2.8 tbi on a new rebuilt motor (50 miles). 700r4 tranny.

    Got the engine back in and it fires and runs good at idle and at speed. Choke is working good. Acceleration is the problem. It surges and cuts out, but doesn't die. No backfires so timing is good. If I get the throttle past 1/2 way (secondaries?) it has great acceleration with no surges. But putting along at little throttle to about 1/2 throttle it surges almost with a rythmn.

    I've checked for vacuum leaks, none. New plugs and wires. Gone through MAP, TPS, IAC, temp sensor, etc all check out good. I'm wondering about the injectors.

    The spray pattern looks good, no drips that I can see. I haven't checked fuel pressure but it appears to be fine. I'm running injector cleaner through the tank now, I figure it'll take me 4 days or so to finish the tank.

    I ohm'ed the injectors and they're reading 2.3 to 2.6 ohms. I did read that most of the injectors talked about on this board ohm at around 12. Should tbi injectors read the same? Most injector references I read were on the DOHC forum so I wasn't sure.

    Anybody?

    Thanks!

    GENERAL MOTORS
    TBI 220 series 2.8 / 3.1 / 4.3 / 5.0 / 5.7 / 7.4 liter 1.16 - 1.36 ohms
    TBI 295 series 4.3 / 6.0 / 7.0 liter 1.42 - 1.62 ohms
    TBI 700 series 2.0 / 2.2 / 2.5 liter 1.42 - 1.62 ohms
    CPI vortec 4.3 liter 1.50 +/- .2 ohms
    MFI Bosch style injector (1985-89) 2.8 liter 15.95 - 16.35 ohms
    MFI Black Multec injector 2.8 / 3.1 / 3.3 / 3.4 liter 11.8 - 12.6 ohms
    MFI 3800eng 14.3 - 14.7 ohms

    Still have the hesitation on acceleration issue tho...
