Ninety-two
Newbie
I’m new to posting here but not to reading. I’m also not a great mechanic, at least I’m not great at diagnosing, but I can wrench a bit. Anyway please excuse my ignorance. I’m trying.
5.7 tbi in a ‘92 K1500. My work truck. I recently threw a bunch of parts at it. Surging idle and crap mpg, I figured some deep-tune parts I could do myself might actually be an inexpensive place to start. Cap, rotor, plugs, wires, O2 sensor, TPS, MAP sensor, fuel filter and a thermostat because I needed it.
Much improved….for about 20 miles. Then following a warm start it stalls. Starts right up but stalls again. And again. I notice the tach is bouncing up and down really fast, faster than the flywheel would actually let the engine rev, but stalls when tach crashes. Couldn’t find a vacuum leak with propane. I’m absolutely stumped. I’d be so disappointed to call a tow after I did all that….
