ok ... here goes ... i just changed the fuel regulator in my 94 S10 blazer with 4.3 TBI... what could be the consequences if a small piece of the intake gasket fell down the intake .... it ran great before i changed the reg .... except for the starting problem ... now starts great but runs very rough and has no power ... any different ideas would help .... thought i could have damaged the rotor cap ... but looks ok ... starts like a gem but has no power

 

Could you have a vacuum leak from forgetting to reconnect something or something having been knocked off?

 

thanks Christine .... i am second guessing my work ... and have been checking the vac. lines ... all looks and feels tight ... now i am just checking the torque on the intake .... thinking i mite have missed a bolt .... but again ... all seams tight

 

ok now i am getting a headache.... all i did was check all vac lines for connection .... retorqued the bolts holding the intaken down .... now it makes 1 or 2 rotations and stops dead like it was seized... let it sit connected my charger .... batter is at 100 % .... cleaned battery connections... and again it spun around 2 times then stopped dead like it was sized ..... mmm time to walk away have a beer and stop overthinking .... to many what ifs
