TBI Syncro
Hello,
I own a 1984 4spd Corvette
I tried to use a manometer to Syncronize and tune my TBI units. The fluid got sucked into the TBI units. Any help on this?
Oh and I used the WinALdl software and it did not give me any TPS or IAC information and it did not give me RPM. The system used com 4 with a 2400 Baud rate.
Thank you for the help
Joe

I thought thre was a "ported vacuum" nipple to use. I believe you may have used a full VAC nipple. I used a VAC gauge on mine with full VAC in that instance. Got it reasonably close. I recall 6 inch of water is what you shoot for.

No b/c then you'd get an average reading and you need to pinpoint EACH TB, one at a time. If you had two water manometers you could do them at the same time.

No, because the vacuum reading and sensitivity should be too low to see accurately on a vacuum gauge which references mercury, not water. That water manometer is much more sensitive. Rohn is right that there should be PORTED vacuum nipples to use for this.

Do I need a valve on the line going to the water manometer.
Like I said I have a manometer from work, electronic. I am going to try it. But , I would still like to know why my water one failed so miserablely.
Thank you

I was using a guide posted by one of the people on this forum. It actually shows in a picture and cricled what nipple to use. And it sucked the iced tea right in.
