seriously, this is getting annoying..., more fuel injection woes. Options

ok, so I think I tracked down the reason I've been burning up head temp sensors.
checked the ground strap & it was in bad shape, so I bought a stock replacement & added another ground further up (behind the bell housing to bare metal where motor mount bar bolts)
it ran great!
....for about a week.

now when I heel toe downshift hard at all, the thing loads up & tries to die on me.
If I put it in neutral & give it a good rev it clears out (ton of black smoke) & runs like nothing ever happened

I'm not sure its the head temp sensor cuz its acting a lot differently than the last time.

I'm getting REALLY frustrated with the electronics on this thing.
if this keeps up I'm just gonna carb the damned thing & deal with it running shitty when I take trips to different evevations.

anyway. anyone have any ideas?

it has new grounds, new head temp sensor, newer cap, rotor wires & plugs

thank you in advance!

Mike,

It might be helpful if you post a couple of pictures of the engine. We can then see what is still hooked up --hose wise. The sigle biggest issue for me was tracking down and eliminating vacuum leaks.

I have 1.8 L-jet and went through a bunch of issues too; this is actually a workable system. Post up the pics so we can see what's there...
