Re: 89 C 3500 7.4l TBI with issues

On a 1992 TBI big block the fuel pressure spec is 9 to 13 PSI. When the system is in good condition they do not run at the low end of the spec.

If the fuel pressure is low it will be running lean at least at times.

A lean mixture burns hotter. Much hotter. It can burn a hole through a piston.

I would expect to see a coolant temp of 195 to 220 degrees with some load.
