Having problems starting and idleing

[PunishedC10]

1989 silverado 400 small block, Edlebrock performer intake with a Holley fuel injection throttle body, factory heads. Some kinda of junk chip....
It's my dads truck. He can't start it, have turn pump the pedal about 40-50times before it will start. and hold it down 3/4 for about ten minutes before it will idle on its own. Anything else I should check beside the fuel pump?

clogged filters maybe!!

Call Edelbrock, it's their POS

[PunishedC10]

you mean holley greg?

[RedHeartbeat]

yeah, them. LOL

I feel this holley tb is a piece of junk. That's my opinion.
That's why I asked...I didnt think the edelbrock intake was a piece of junk lol.
I was also wondering...I don't know much about the motor, i think it'd be better off with just a '88-94 tb. And would it need to be programmed or something since it is a 400 small block?

Here's a picture of it. It's no where as clean as it looks in the pic...

So put a carb on it or Edelbrock's new self programming EFI carb looking throttle body.

Thanks for the input greg I'll tell my dad about the Edlebrock. He's trying to get it running good enough to sell. It doesnt run well now at all. Thanks
