Re: 87 Chevy 350 TBI low Idle issue
I had the same problem you described many years ago with my 87 350 FI 4x4 and after two mechanics played with everything with no results, I took it over and left it at the GM tech school and they found that the distributor shaft had become demagnitized. They replaced the distributor shaft and that fixed it and never had a problem again with it. It had the exact same symptoms you were describing and especially when shifting into reverse, it would just flat die. It would then start right back up but it was an occasional hickup and not all the time. I even had one GM dealer mechanic try and set the idle up by drilling out the plug to readjust the base plate. What a joke. Mark
