I am having an issue with my spout connector. I recently had to pull the upper intake to fix a leaky fuel injector. Prior to that the car ran good. I put everything back together and reset the timing. I took it out, and when I got on it , it stumbled and bogged like the spout connector was not plugged in. I have left it out once before and know how it runs like crap. Well it is running like crap.
Has anyone had one of these go bad? I checked for vacum leaks and have none. No pinched wires. Thanks for any help

SPOUT plug is simply a wire jumper plug.

I understand that, but do you think the jumper inside is broke? I am not at the car right now. But I am trying to get a plan together so I can trouble shoot it when I get home.

Check initial with timing light and SPOUT off, reinstall SPOUT with the engine running and notice if it jumps to 20°-24°..... OR.... check resistance between SPOUT plug terminals (not the harness), it should be 0 ohms.

Thanks for the input. If anybody else has suggestions, all are welcome

removed upper intake to fix a leaky injector, now it bogs. hmm...

any chance you kinked a fuel line? or something happened to the pressure regulator?

Run the DIY KOEO/KOER self tests, check fuel pressure and intake manifold vacuum reading engine idling. LUK.

No, I pulled upper plenum only. The reg stayed on the rail. And the fuel lines are free and clear. I just switched to 30# inj. and the rail was not all the way on one of the inj. The fuel lines come from the FMU and every thing looks savy. But the timing wont advance when you go to get on it. One side of the female end of the spout connector is broke off but it has been that way for awhile and has never been an issue. I have had no codes come up.

Fuel press. is at 38-40 initial and it does not really come up untill the FMU sees boost

No codes as in code 11 = System Pass KOEO and KOER?
