Quadrajet Electric Choke Wiring Diagram – Discussion and questions about carburetor carburetor. Third Generation Carburetor Modification, TBI for Carb or TPI for Carburetor? Think LG4 or H.O. information? put it here
I’ve been working on my 86 sport coupe, 305 V8 put on the new Rochester factory built q-jet about a month ago. The choke will not kick. See, the choke light usually flashes and then goes out when you start. Now the light is still on. (except when I pull the wires to the chokes) and the old little thing on the throttle that kicks it… Not working, the choke is at about 2500-3000 rpm. I’m not sure what the problem is. The carburetor was bought new and worked fine about a month ago. Please help ????????

Lights out? Yes, it stays on after starting and does not fire. Throttle tapping is not reduced as it should be.

Start by checking the heater choke fuse (#2 in the fuse box – 20 amps – if your Canadian car is like my US CC).
I would expect an alternator problem, the C/H generator would cause problems before starting. And maybe the C/H relay screeching after that.
Would that cause the choke to open and not kick in? light stays on But even if I unplug the choke wire… The light goes out but the choke stays on.
Yes, when the alternator is not charging. The choke relay will remain open. And the choke coil only gets power from the choke power. make it open slowly that is

I know sometimes the light blinks a little when not in use… Even though I looked at the car before buying a few months ago and already checked…. Hmm, the disappointment is still high. I know it should be a few minutes until you touch the oil it should go. (with a cold engine…) it won’t fail. Oh and this problem is not with the old carbs at all….and it only started about a week ago – I got the carbs about a month ago. Is there any help? How does the alternator shut down – is this normal?
Place the voltmeter on the battery while the engine is running. That will tell you what your alternator is doing.
Ok this is what I have. I was told to try and make sure that both the joint and the shock are well lubricated, with a little WD40 and a few fixes. I took the car and choked to bring the idle to normal by 2500 rpm or so. After a few cycles the light went out. Think I’ll fix it until I can drive hopefully and the choke light comes on again. It works and drives well. But the light came back, what should I do???? How can I fix it???? I live near there… Any advice?
Light breathing knows nothing about the actual operation of chokes or links. I think you still have a problem with the alternator.

What is the problem? Do you think the connection is bad or the alternator is working? The car starts fine every time…in fact I notice that sometimes when parking the light comes on and off and the red light turns a little slow when not pressing the accelerator….do you agree? One more thing Will the alternator cause the choke to come on? I see it flashes when the fan is turned off. But constantly when turning the cooling fan, alternator?
I have posted before about my electric choke problem and found some. The choke butterfly must be opened when working hot. That doesn’t happen here. it is not easy to open Open the dimmer. There is a power/switch with the letter E on the inside of the choke assembly. When I tap on the domm it opens and it’s fine. but the light stays on The second I hit the gas pedal it jumps to 2500 again. What is this? I’m thinking of switching to manual chokes and using cables to avoid the problem.
If your engine is cold the factory setting for the idle speed can be very fast. The factory setting for the idle speed of your carb is about 2300 rpm. Will your engine finally warm up when it warms up?
It could be the alternator or it could be something like a loose battery connection – maybe try visiting a shop that has free alternators and battery testers. What kind of store does that in Vancouver?

Get a voltmeter and check the voltage of the battery without the car running and running. And do the same on the choke thermostat! If the voltage is not higher than 14 volts when running, BIGO!
Did you get this opportunity? do those things until you do nothing else will help you You don’t get an outlet for the choke thermistor. And it could be that your generator is not providing enough power to kick the generator relay. It is possible the choke’s fuse has blown, but Aperion has explained why that is not the case.
In fact, the equipment of the Schucks car on the road includes a free battery and electric meter. If I can get the car running long enough to go down where can I find information about the payment?
A little off topic – but what do you pay for a carburetor? I will buy soon.. Thank you!!
Converting An Automatic Choke To Manual
I believe the new design Quadrjet Rochester (E4ME) carbs are not cheap. I run on the side of $400 if you can avoid it.Id do that but if your carbs are computer controlled then you have no choice. They are not beautiful Rochester. but good job
I guess you could run a computer if you wanted an edelbrock or something, but it’s not worth the hassle. with what you have
I haven’t ruled out all possibilities. But my car won’t work. and when it doesn’t work It idles at 5500rpm and then turns off, I still have to watch it for a while. thanks for the advice But I only paid 600 for the car, 400 for the carb is a little out of my range right now.
Your car runs at 5500 rpm??? wow i never get mine up to 5500 rpm how does this work? Turn the key to start the car and the car roar and turn off!?! What have you tried?

Talk about déjà vu. Replaced the quadrajet with a reman and started having problems with the shocks. Choke does not close But the light and the buzzer will stay on for a while. Finally, just release the shock absorber. Only time at high revs 3.5k or so the c/h light comes on very rarely lol.
Gotta love the warranty There have been no problems that I have seen so far. After reading this thread I may attach a new choke and see what happens.
Oh and the last thought. I read somewhere Think there may be another thread on here about a bottom crash that can cause a similar problem. What do you think about it? Is it possible?
The choke receives power from the engine only when the engine is working and providing sufficient output. The choke power goes through the choke relay.
Overhauling The Last Of The Quadrajet Carburetors
Just pull the shocks back. The light and buzzer come on and stay on even when the car is running. I didn’t even notice the throttle moving.
The buzzer should be in the relay in the dash. It should be easy to find where it screams at you.
Sure, the alternator is brand new. I look like an idiot! A choked generator is everything. It seems to be the little things that you look at the most.
If I have an Edelbrock 1406 with a power choke Does this wire work properly? Because their manual always wants me to connect (run the job) at 12v.
Wiring Mess In 84 Z28
As I understand Factory wiring is not always working and controlled by relays. It depends on the performance of the alternator. (To me it means that if the alternator is below 12V the choke relay will not turn on. and the choke light will be grounded to indicate the problem. But when working and charging normally So if I have a factory choke block that is bad, what is the difference and quality between the factory and the Edelbrock manual (how to use less relay) and what do you think?
