Need to set the FP with a gauge.

Don't think you can clean them, just have to let them dry I suppose if you are running that rich to foul out new plugs, you're going to have more problems than you have now. Running super rich will do what's called "cylinder wash", does just that washes the cylinders with fuel also contaminating...

Yep that's it.

Guess you can say it is the same thing, I wouldn't run the motor without it. But without it, how are you sure the timing is right???

You say you don't have the crank pulley on? But you do have the harmonic balancer on? AFM plunged in, ground wires hooked, especially the ecu ground under the intake manifold?

Do you have a pressure gauge to check the fuel pressure, and yes if you have the FPR set to high it will run rich. Pull your #1 plug out and check it.

Some may live in a mushroom cloud if not careful :)

Yes, thanks JJ. I thought it was the safety feature that if the engine wasn't running that it cut power to the fuel pump, must be thing of something else. I just think anything that has to do with fuel delivery should be there, for safety reasons unless you are absolutely sure.

Pull the upper timing cover, line up the marks on the cam gears, verify #1 piston is at TDC, take distributor cap off and check that rotor is pointing at #1 wire, and the mark on the crank pulley is at the "0" on the cover. Buy the way did you make sure that your plug wires are in the right...

Does it have something to do with not pumping fuel if the engine is not running JJ? Or is that something else?

I'd say yes, still have mine

Fix the obvious first, may take care of it may not. Like everybody is saying fix the VSV you do need it.

TPS has to be set, may check out OK but still has to be calibrated. Timing should also be set with a timing light. ISC is Idle speed control, don't think that's your problem.

Could be a few things, timing, ISC, TPS, any codes?

Try to get a video of the sound, a few here could probably tell from the noise.

Rotor should be pointing at the #1 plug wire, kind of at 2:00 if you are looking at the top of the distributor head on.

Have you set the TPS and checked timing?

Your machinist should be able to tell you what you need, you can get oversized bearings, they have to be sized anyhow. Or should be.

What did you end up paying for the TB's?
