Re: Beretta dies when trying to leave from idle, help needed

So another frustrating morning, testing all the things I've thought of and read in the books, read here and on the web in general. Today I couldn't get it to start and idle, I could get it sometimes to fire and then run trying to find an decent idle for 1-2 seconds, and sometimes no sign of ignited ...

Re: Beretta dies when trying to leave from idle, help needed

Not sure, only thing I know is that GM mechanic said that they tested fuel pressure as good. I may have to try injectors and FPR, but takes time to get and cost $... But it's a possibility

Re: Beretta dies when trying to leave from idle, help needed

OK, this is getting serious now, help needed. I’m beginning to doubt we’ll ever get it running again. I’ve tried all I knew, then the local garage gave up, then it was transported to GM where it was bought 25 years ago, and they had it for 2 weeks trying stuff, and couldn’t solve it! I haven’t seen ...

Re: Beretta dies when trying to leave from idle, help needed

I asked GM why they wouldn't know what to do, couldn't they see the culprit on their computer?! They say it's so old they can't see a lot. Meanwhile they replace parts at my expense. Didn't we have someone in here that worked at GM, that I got in contact with? It's been many months since I was in he...

Re: Beretta dies when trying to leave from idle, help needed

I doubt it has meaningful codes, besides the ones that led GM to replace the IAC, but I don't know. I myself have had the TPS off, and with a simple ohm-meter it looks smooth.
Thanks

Beretta dies when trying to leave from idle, help needed

HI, my 1991 3.1 has a problem the shop can't fix. It idles fine, but as soon as you push the throttle just a little, it totally dies. If you''re fast enough to let go of the throttle, it can stay alive. The shop has replaced IAC and Crank Position sender, but no change. Any ideas? The shop seems to ...

1990 sun visors needed please

Hi, after giving up on ebay, does anybody in this forum have a set of sunvisors in good shape for my 1991 Beretta GT. Preferably black velour, but any colour will be considered. The problem with the current ones is that the flexible outer part now just flaps around. Quite annoying in an otherwise we...

Re: A/C R12 on 90 Beretta 3.1, where do I fill it

Relay was defective indeed. Used one of the others on the row, got the clutch to engage. I still think the computer doesn't do what it should, but I won't know for sure until I get the new relay. Thanks

Re: A/C R12 on 90 Beretta 3.1, where do I fill it

OK, so I got it filled, but still it doesn't work. The guy filling it with R12 swears there's over 2 lbs on, and that pressure is alright. He concluded that the compressor clutch had gotten stuck from not using during winter, might be. So I didn't want to spend more money, drove home to diagnose mys...

A/C R12 on 90 Beretta 3.1, where do I fill it

Time to add some R12, and found a guy that still has it. He told me to find where the nozzles are and remove any stuff that was in the way before I drive to his shop. But I can't find where it's done. Is there anything I have to remove and then the nozzles will be visible?

Re: rear window defroster question, solved

Just as a FYI, I bought this TSB kit at newgmparts.net: Item: KIT- TIME Price: $45.95 And it works! Even with the old circuit breaker and timer module. It now stays on for 8-9 minutes, and you can use the power locks at the same time. Beware that if you need a new timer module, the one include was w...

Re: Racing up and down at idle

Status update. Changed the MAP as well. Found no vacuum leaks or ignition problems. But to the point! I think I've found the culprit. Sort of. When removing the two bolts holding the TPS and turning it so the ALDL tool computer shows 1.18V, the racing at idle stops. If I move it ever so slightly it ...

Re: Racing up and down at idle

After reading the help sections, here's where I got to: If I in Preferences Data Acq and Logging use Use Plug In, I get no connection. If I use AutoProm/MAFTPro, I can connect, but if I start Start Data Scan, I'm disconnected. Bottom left corner says Not Emulating and Hardware not found. What am I d...

Re: Racing up and down at idle

Woody, tried looking at your links, some require pw. Sorry, I'm a bit slow on this, I need firm instructions. The good news: I have a cable that fits the Beretta port. And I have the TunerPro RT on my laptop. But I can't connect, and if I could I don't know what I'll see. It's now running so strange...
