    po300

    I have seen this code lots of times and almost each time, it meant replacing the spider. Now I diagnosed each one of them by checking fuel pressure and volume, to rule out the fuel pump. Then I used a scanner along with a fuel pressure gauge to check each individual fuel injector. The...

    Before you installed that engine, better yet, before you brought it home, did you make sure you can spin the engine by hand? Also this noise you talk about, any chance you can do a video if it?

    Reads like you may have to use the flexplate that was on the engine you took out. It could be the van trans used a smaller t/c and this is why your bolt pattern is off.

    P0142

    p0142 is a lean bank code. This mean the PCM is adding as much fuel as in its parameters and on this particular bank, there is still too much air and not enough fuel. Some things that you should look for are vacuum leaks, exhaust leaks, and loose hoses that supply an incoming air charge.

    98 chevy 1500 engine issue

    That pipe youre referring to, I had a problem with when I did my intake. Used some really good penetrating lube and let it sit for a couple before I went wrenching on it. You can also use a dead blow hammer with the wrench to give it a shock and that may help you too. Yes, if there is...

    Ticking sound. Possibly a lifter?

    Ticking sound. Possibly a lifter?

    You can do a lil bit of pre diagnosing yourself. Using a broomstick, place the end on one valve cover and move the broom stick fore and aft, listening to see if the ticking resonate through the broom stick. Do this to both sides and see what you come up with. If the sound is under a valve...
