August 4, 200916 yr 1986 gl-10 turbo. took out the turbo engine and went back with multi port. no problem.... Started it up. Engine wouldn't run. Fuel pump bad. changed it. still engine wouldn't idle. just start and die. took timing covers back off and rechecked cam timing. So got it narrowed to a fuel problem. Spray fuel injector cleaner in intake and she took off and run like a champ. At this point I', stoked. Change fuel pressure regulator. Now I just know it's gonna run. 400 rpm's and if i give it gas it just falls on its face. Strai wired the pump to run all the time instead of cycling to try and get better pressure. no improvemint. finally pinched return line in tw o on back side of pressure regulator and give it the gas and vroom vroom does good. unpinch line and if you keep it revved up it will do good but if you let rpm's drop it will die. still won't idle. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
