    TV Cable question

    I need to pull the bed off to do some proper welding on the exhaust and replace the filler neck anyway, I will definitely be replacing the fuel filter. I replaced the TPS and I wish I didn't because it didn't change anything. One of the screws connecting it to the throttle body was cross...

    TV Cable question

    That's really good information. I have always wondered which transmission I have. The guy before me claimed it was a 700r4, but I don't know how to tell the difference.

    TV Cable question

    My truck is a 1994 GMC k1500. My question is in regards to the TV cable. I have had idling issues with this truck since I got it, and I think I have narrowed it down to a poorly rebuilt TB. My truck seems to have delayed shifting, and it shifts mighty hard when it shifts normally. I messed with...

    Low idle/stalling new thread

    I never did solve this problem, I just have been running it as it is. Still throws a code for running lean. Next step is going to be to try and replace the throttle body. The guy before me rebuilt it himself and I'm not confident he put it together right. Also the connector for the TPS is...

    Brake Light Switch question

    My truck is a 1994 GMC 1500 4x4 5.7l. I recently replaced the brake light switch and it works, but i think i damaged clip that holds it on there. It will slide a little bit, and stop working. Im wondering if anyone has any tips on how to secure the switch tightly on there, or where to find a new...

    Low idle/stalling new thread

    I bought some lucas injector cleaner. Im going to run it through the tank and see if it helps. If not ill just take the injector out and clean it manually. The cover over the manual idle adjustment screw is really on there. I went at it for a little bit with a chisel and hammer and ended up just...

    Low idle/stalling new thread

    Also I had heard that a loose throttle shaft bore can do things like this, but mine seems to be tight. I did however notice that on one of the injectors spraying down the bore, is very faint and uneven compared to the other one. Wondering if this could cause weird idle problems or if the...

    Low idle/stalling new thread

    I'm not quite sure I understand that, you jump the terminals of the plug to the valve, or the terminals on the valve itself?

    Low idle/stalling new thread

    I didn't replace it the guy before me did. It looks brand new. I doubt that he did a re learn, I've never heard of that I thought you just plugged it in.

    The IAC valve is new and the throttle body looked clean when I shined a light down it

    Low idle/stalling new thread

    I am going to take care of both of those things tomorrow and I'll let you all know how it goes. Can a bad EGR cause low idle? It's not intermittent it's constant. If I manually adjust the idle will it mess up my timing? Another theory I had was a bad ground somewhere if any of you have had...

    Low idle/stalling new thread

    I will give replacing those a try. Do you have any tricks for getting that one bolt off of the EGR in that inconvenient place?

    Low idle/stalling new thread

    Also I had a mechanic mess with it for a couple weeks, and he told me his money was on the computer needing replaced, but he couldn't verify it without sending it in

    Low idle/stalling new thread

    My truck is a 1994 GMC z71 1500 with a 5.7l and 700r4 tran. I am having low idle problems. The truck runs great when it's cold and first started up, voltage is at 14 and it idles normal. when in drive it will idle low, around 200. It gets worse after driving for about 20 minutes and it is fully...

    Truck will not start!

    You were absolutely right. After replacing the starter and it not working. I adjusted the ground cable to the block and it started right up

    Truck will not start!

    Im on it. Im determined to get this truck running by the end of the day. It feels like its something simple like you are saying. I am thinking that the starter i bought just for whatever reason doesn't fit right. I wish i kept the old one instead of getting the stupid 10 dollar core money so i...

    Truck will not start!

    I tested the battery it checked out fine. The connections are solid and everything. I took out the starter and had it tested. It checked out fine, but the teeth were very worn on the gear, so i replaced it. The replacement starter doesn't seem to fit in there quite right. There is a little bit...

    Fuel pump relay location

    yeah i found it. I thought that differently equipped trucks had the relays in different places. I overdid i pulled out the glove box and everything lol

    Truck will not start!

    My truck is a 1994 k1500 with a 5.7l. The truck will not turnover. When I turned the key it just sort of sounds like it wants to try, and power is going to the engine, but something is preventing it. The battery is not dead, and it does not click as if it were. I am throwing 2 codes. One 32 for...

    Fuel pump relay location

    my truck is a 1994 k1500 with the 5.7 l. It is a gmc if this matters for this. I am unable to locate the fuel pump relay, and have not been able to find anything on the Internet. Also if anyone has any tips for getting that second bolt off of the EGR I would appreciate it! Tyia

    Low idle/stalling

    Thank you I will give replacing this a try and report how it goes at least for oil pressure accuracy. Looks like I may have to remove the distributer to reach it

    Low idle/stalling

    It is a 3 wire sensor located underneath the passenger door. The bung is welded in about 9 inches from where the plug is. It stretches to reach about as far as the wire will allow

    Low idle/stalling

    Where is the oil pressure sending unit located?

    Low idle/stalling

    I adjusted the throttle cable and tightened it a little bit. It doesn't want to stall or anything now, but it is running lean due to my exhaust setup/ 02 sensor issues. And the oil pressure seems to really be low when the truck is warmed up. I am not hearing any bad noises from the engine and it...

    MAP Sensor issues

    I fixed this issue. the vacuum line was just not connected to the tbi, it was instead connected to the egr bleed valve. Put them in their right places and now runs correctly!
