84 corvette throttle bodies from hell
First off replaced fuel pump fuel filter all gaskets on intake and injectors. Replaced all spark plugs. New starter
Starter switch does not work on column so I have to jump with wire. Car starts both injectors spraying. As soon as it starts all the even cylinders spark plugs foul up and engine basically is only running on the even cylinders at full throttle. I have straight pipes and exhaust only comes out left side. Engine code says throttle position sensor but I get a solid 5 volts at wot and .5 at closed. Btw I have spark at all plugs. Please help what can it be.

Has this engine been apart recently? Has it ever run correctly?

"Check Engine" light and not showing any codes indicate that ECM is running in "Linp Home" mode. Then it will definitly run like crap. Also not many sensoes are used.

From fist post:
Do you get cosed or not? How do you check codes? Paperclip?
Also ...
* Starter switch does not work on column
* wipers don't work
* horn doesn't work
* No power to radio
Could be random but seems a bit much.

At least it should flash "12".
