has any one here gottn water in there gas in the cold weather before and if so what were the symptoms

 

Whatever the symptoms, you can remove it by adding fuel system drier (ethanol) to your gas. Most pour-in injector/carb cleaners have some. I think Sta-bil also claims to help.

 

how long should they take i have filed up with new gas run bardahl water remover and gas line antifreeze and its been running like crap for 3 days

 

Depends on how much water got in, how much drier you put in, how much gas is in the tank, and how much "dried" gas you've burnt out. Have you pulled the codes? Have you checked the obvious things like vacuum leaks, spark plugs, wires, cap & rotor, fuel filter, etc.?

 

Could a TPS cause any of the same problems cause before this started happening my idle would fluctuate about 3-400 rpm

 

Yes, but idle fluctuation is more commonly a result of a bad IAC. Have you pulled the codes yet?

 

no i havent i just always thought it was water so i didnt think that there would be any codes but i will pull them tonight

 

i pulled the codes and a got " fuel pump relay primary circut fault" code 536 or somthin. and the usual " insuficient rpm change during dynamic response test" code 528 or somthin

 

sorry those were 556 and 538

 

today i started my truck and it was running like crap ( bearly idleing and would cough, backfire thru the TB and try to die) so i poped the hood and unpluged my MAP to see what would happen ( usually the idle goes up when unplugged) and then it died so i pluged it back in and it would fire occasionally but wouldnt start untill after 20 mins of trying soo could the MAP be bad or is it somthing else

 

The MAP should set a code, but get a multimeter and a Haynes and check it and the other sensors.

 

my chilton manual says to plug in the MAP and check the voltage across the test leads where are the test leads?

 

I dunno what that means - that's why I use Haynes.

 

i think i should sell this computerized fuel injected peice of crap and buy back my 81 with the 300 horse 400 atleast it always got me where i wanted to go

 

If you think chasing vacuum leaks and guessing at ignition faults would be easier, go for it. I'll stick with EFI!
