California does not apply to me. This truck has never been registered anywhere other than jersey. Here is a tip I can actually give. If you list your truck for sale on ebay for a few minutes( with no info or an absurd price) you can get a free VIN check by viewing the post from outside as if you were a seeking buyer!
Gary, all of that stuff looks chinese to me lol. Is there any pictures that I can take to confirm any of them?
Actually, it is pretty simple:
M/T = manual transmission
A/T is automatic
4/W/D is 4 wheel drive
2/W/D is 2 wheel drive
exc. Calif means except a vehicle built for Cali
Hi-altitude carb. means one built for high altitude
C6-U/8500 lb. GVW means it has a C6 automatic and the Gross Vehicle Weight is under 8500 pounds
You should be able to determine most of this on a label just ahead of the radiator on the passenger's side. Show us a pic of that label and also the Certification Label on the driver's door jamb.
The label says it should have a feedback carb. Do you have electrical connections to your carb? If not it isn't a feedback carb. Perhaps someone put the right tag on the wrong carb. But w/o wires the computer is going to be UPSET and the timing will be locked.
Hm... The only electrical going to the carb is for the tps and the choke. Spent hours yesterday just trying to work on my brakes. Replaced a couple lines. But the bleeder screws took way to much time to get out. Didnt even get to bleed them.
So if i am supposed to have a feedback carb, do i have to get a new carb or is ghere another solution?
It hasn't sunk in yet I see. You have a serious setup problem with your engine. If you want to delay working on it, it will probably run, but not very good. You have two choices;
Get the correct carb, hook all the wires and hoses back up as original, and really learn how this electronic carb system works so you can work on it. Or
Change the distributor out with a older style and older style ignition module. Then you won't need the computer to work.
Changing the distributor is by FAR the best way to go. The feedback system was complex and difficult to maintain for those that know what they are doing. The DS-II system is very simple and reliable.
Wait a minute... Post #1 shows one of the carb's solenoids! Maybe he can just pull the codes and go from there (Gary, it's really not that hard, but trying to teach people this stuff on a forum like this is difficult):
