    I'm running a TPI setup on my truck, noticed that at stop signs or lights the engine surges. It gets so bad at times I have to struggle to keep the brakes depressed to keep it from launching into on coming traffic. Any ideas what's going on? :confused:

    The Basics !

    First thing , replace the fuel filter , then you might try adjusting the TPS .

    I used to work on older F.I. systems and this was a problem back then too .

    Robert, like it or not, you have a HOT ROD pickup! What, you expect it to wait patiently for the light to turn green??? You built that monster, now you'll have to deal with it! ;)
