93old smoke

Well,
Thought everything was going good. Got it almost all back together. Went to drop the fuel pin in the afc housing, and it stopped. Looked down and the pin that rides on the curve of the fuel pin is sticking out. Carefully tried to push it back in, but it springs right back out stopping the pin from dropping in. Any ideas? Thanks

mine stays in... have you tried the throttle and the manual shutoff? those things seem to help me out when i have problems with that pin.

It should not be pushing back out unless you are pulling back on the throttle or unless you have something wrong, without touching the throttle try pushing the pin forward with a small screwdriver.

Well, I honestly don't remember moving the throttle. It took me an hour with a fine pick just pushing that pin back in to where it finally stopped with just the tapered end hanging out. Pushed the pin down. Put it all back together. I was worried I had the throttle indexed wrong, but I took pictures before and after to confirm it was right. Fired it up and set my idle. I added a m3 fuel pin at the same time, and the old thing came alive. I drove about 20 miles with laying into it a little bit. There is no sign of fuel coming out of the afc housing vent. For right now it seems good. I just dread pulling the pin to check out whats going on. Maybe I did snap the throttle back.

At least you got it working! How do you like the M3? I've had vague notions about getting one sometime...

The M3 i think is going to work great. It actually doesn't seem as smoky as the stock one I ground down mid throttle, but when it is wide open I picked up 2psi of boost. I don't like leaving a soot cloud unless I want to. I really want to see how it acts with 10k pounds behind the truck.
