    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...

    98 chevy 1500 engine issue

    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.

    fuel draining off

    Yea, in the past with symptoms like this, I have experienced that the fule pump was losing prime, the Fuel Pressure Regulator, had crapped out, and a few of the injectors were leaking down. All this was on seprate engines, of course. As I tell everyone with a fuel issue, test your fuel...

    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...

    Truck stalling, not starting and sputtering

    Sully, i hope you diagnose what is wrong with your truck before you start reaplcing parts. I would hate to see another thread where someone replaced a,b,c,d,e,f,g part and their truck is still fuggin up...

    Truck stalling, not starting and sputtering

    Just because you can "HEAR" the pump, does not mean it is pushing enough pressure...Or volume for that matter...

    Truck stalling, not starting and sputtering

    To tell the truth, I dont care how recently a fuel pump was installed. So much is demanded from these fuel pumps, its no wonder they last as long as they do! IIWY, I would check fuel pressure and check fuel volume too. Check also to see if there are any stored check engine light codes...

    98 chevy 1500 engine issue

    I gotta tell ya, reading this thread and seeing it go on and on, it gets to be like a soap opera. Here is what I would do. Leave the truck parked til YOU decide what it is you want to do. If you dont have the funds, leave it parked til you do. Drawing all these ideas and plans into your...

    So, I think I have a problem

    Hey all. 98 GMC Z71 Sirerra Ext Cab 4x4 here. I am finding on ocassion, when driving straight or going in a curve on a road, whether my steering wheel is turned to the left, right, or motioning for correctness, my steering wheel will, for lack of better words, twitch and feel as if I put a...

    Loudest glasspacks?

    I just eliminated the muffler, installed extentions pipes, and then welded a y pipe to the stock tail pipe. It sounds really nice and reminiscent of how a good friend of mine's Z71 sounded.
