RE: Fouling Plugs on 4KQ

["Unterseher, Reed [SSG]" <runterseher@nd-arng.ngb.army.mil>]

I had EXACTLY the same problems with my 87 4KcsQ. The fix was to replace the
faulty cold temp. fuel injection sensor. You should be able to get one for
around $30 from Rod at TPC. You will also need to replace the plugs and
check the O2 sensor (I had to replace both on mine). Hope that helps.

Good luck
Reed

		Doyt,

		This sounds very much like what's happening with my 4KSQ
which my
		girlfriend is now driving.

		It starts extremely hard on cold mornings, and takes 15-20
mins to get
		warmed up.  If she tries to drive or give it some gas before
it's warmed up
		-- it will often stall.  yesterday, I had the car and after
driving for 40
		mins. I parked to go into the store for 15 mins. When I came
out, I started
		the car and it stalled 5-6 times.  Finally, I started it and
didn't touch
		the gas -- and it warmed up for 10 mins. and was eventually
fine.

		What's wrong?  The plugs are great -- just put them in.
Fuel pump is new.
		When warm, the car runs fantastic.

		I can't figure it out, and I need to fix it soon..

		TIA for your help --
