Hi All,

  I have a motor which has a Arizona Speed MPI manifold and a GM MEFI 3 =
computer.  This is on a boat.  The boat sat for 5 years and gummed =
everything up.  I have cleaned everything and now the motor starts and =
runs well above about 1200 rpm's.  If I try to run it lower say at idle =
it dies.  I hooked a noid light into the harness and the injector signal =
gets dimmer seeming to die.  I have changed just about everything =
including the computer from a MEFI 1 to the now MEFI 3.  Same symptoms.  =
Parts changed include TPS, CTS,MAP, IAC, cleaned and rebuilt injectors =
by Sunrise injector service, new high and low pressure fuel pumps, =
battery cables (as they appeared to by as old as the boat, (1985), the =
module in the distributor.  It holds a constant 43 psi when running but =
the pressure rises as the motor dies.  This is a 502 chevy 420 hp with =
42 hours on the motor.  Got any ideas?  Also the TPS kills the motor =
whenever it is connected, this is new with the new computer.
