1987 Chevy R30. 7.4 TBI.
Had injector(s) fail back in October. Drove me crazy trying to figure out the issue. It got into a really bad lean surge just off idle and would never recover. After a whole lot of tuning and parts, replaced the injectors and the problem went away. Put about 3K miles on it.
About 2 months ago I started to get a CEL for a lean condition at light throttle cruise. Tried tuning it out but no amount of changes to the VE or any other settings would fix it. Issue started getting worse about 2 weeks ago where it started to stumble, and as of last weekend it is now back to the exact same condition that I had with the extreme lean surge. You can watch the O2 sensor voltage drop and INT climbs.
The injectors were brand new GM branded parts. I am getting them replaced under warranty.
What could be causing injectors to fail like this? Fuel filter is new. Fuel pressure is remaining constant at 13psi. I don't run any fuel additives. I pulled the injectors and the inlet screens were totally clean.
Anyone else have TBI injector issues?
