MPI and flooding...

What do the plugs look like? Any plugs wet? Is it fuel or water on them?

Are all cyl firing?

I use my timing light to make sure all the cyl are firing. Its cheap and safe way to make sure all 8 are firing.

My local marina has a very good stock of parts for older engines. I got to thinking my 1990 C1500 just stopped running like this. Turned out to be the pick up coil. I got sidetracked but will post up after the parts swap.

You could steal the pickup coil from the truck, but towing it home will be a little difficult...

Went through this a month ago. It was the pickup coil. $15 part at auto parts store. Tell em it's for a 1988-1995 gm truck.

Well got it fired up. New pickup coil. cap,and rotor. The pickup coil look like it died a slow melted death. Thinking of doing preventative on the other motor as well.

Thanks BUP !!!

Your welcome and thanks for thanks

Ok you owe me a Xmas card in Dec --- I think I help you out about 3 years ago with an High idle on an MPI big block as the throttle blade needed to be readjusted.

U increased the opening on the dyno session and then forgot to readjust the throttle blade back when the engine got back in the boat. Was nt that you ??? You gave me thanks back then to haha

What I really like is an old man like me still has one great memory, its not whether I am right or wrong but I am still very glad about the memory. I even said it was 3 years ago about your high idle issue and yes it was you. Smitty.
