If you ever find yourself again trying to “first start” another old, long stagnant fuel injected engine, you are better off unhooking the main fuel line at the throttle body or fuel rail before you even turn the key on. Attach the end of the fuel line to a hose and/or run it or the end of the line into a clean plastic soda bottle or jug, then turn the key to the ON position, listen for the electric fuel pump to switch on for a few second then shut itself off (with a open fuel line, it might continue to run, though). If you hear nothing, the pump isn’t working. If it does run, give it a few seconds, shut off the key switch and go see if there is anything in your bottle or jug. There is alway a chance that the fuel injector is still good, so you don’t want to pump stale or contaminated fuel into it. In the case of an old throttle body system, replacing the injector is neither hard nor expensive; but in the case of other EFI systems, you could be clogging up 4,6, or up to 8 injectors which would be more expensive to replace or time consuming to remove, try to clean/replace and reinstall. Not criticizing how you did things here but just giving you something to think about if you are faced with the situation again and it might save you some headaches, time, and cash.

I think the creators consider that the viewers like to see these rust buckets show signs of life, straight from the junkyard. If the money was mine, I would take the time to do the homework first...😀💸

Hi CT. Had one of these in an 86 Buick. The fuel pump is high pressure and you should hear it when you turn the key. Check fuse for pump first.

Great video. I enjoy your emphasis on older, less known (by today's standards) vehicles. Fuel pump is in-tank. Throttle body rebuild kits are available as are fuel injectors. Looks like prices are fairly reasonable for these items.

@Cking880Ай бұрын
You can check the injector by removing the wiring harness and place a 9v battery on the pin connectors and listen to see if it clicks and if so the injector should be good.

@grabasandwichАй бұрын
You could do some proper testing with a multimeter or noid light. It's funny how you're so enthusiastic about all those warning lights and electronic gauges working. To me, anything from the OBD era seems too new to be interesting enough for a will-it-start style video compared to points and carbs, but at least you're out there doing it and making content.
@mortisangelicaАй бұрын
You got it close. The repair manuals like chiltons and hanes have the wrong wiring diagram for the 84. The only real emission stuff on this car is the egr and catalyst converter. Make sure you plug open vacuum lines and the gaskets and base gaskets of the throttle body are good and sealing. Good luck with the fuel pump the tanks are fun to drop.

Thanks for the tips! I'll be working on the tank removal tomorrow if all goes well.

It would be better to use a fuel with a little oil in it. keep spraying carb cleaner or brake cleaner just washes the cylinder walls and valves. Much better to have a little lubricant for the rings

It was a neat idea, just poorly executed like every new thing GM does. We used to call these Ponticrap Fireballs back in the day. Oil would leak onto the exhaust from the valve cover gasket and start a fire. The insulation on the firewall would catch, and then the rest of the car, which is very flammable fiberglass and plastic.

Disappointed in you CT. You said it yourself when the oil looked so clean, “all the sediment is at the bottom”. You should have at least changed the oil & bypassed the fuel tank. Now you’ve put that engine at risk of future failure from the muck getting sucked up and distributed around the engine to plug up oil galleries and cause ring or bearings to fail. You know better. Or was this staged? Either way, I’m disappointed.
