Truck: 1992 K1500 Silverado 5.7L TBI
Symptoms: Rough idle when warm/hot, occasional stall. Very rarely, truck will also die while driving. (This occurs without any stumble, miss, or other forewarning. Engine simply cuts; on decel or cruising from what I've noticed. Never under load.) Truck maintains power/electricity [gauges, electronics, etc.] Also of note is that the truck will fire right back up without hesitation in either circumstance, as if nothing happened, and will continue on. So far, neither symptoms occur when engine is cold. This has been occurring for months.
Repairs completed so far (including unrelated repairs & maintenance):
-Intake Manifold Gasket (plus associated gaskets: Thermostat Housing, EGR, Distributor, Valve Covers, etc.)
-Throttle Body/Injector Pod Assembly fully rebuilt
-Oxygen Sensor
-Throttle Position Sensor
-Idle Air Control Valve
-Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch #1 (for ECM/Thermostat Housing)
-Oil Pressure Sender/Switch
-Spark Plugs/Wires
-Distributor Cap/Ignition Rotor
-Ignition Coil
-EGR Valve & Vacuum Hose
-Base Timing Reset, confirmed via timing light. (Computer advance also confirmed via timing light.)
-Fuel Filter
-Multiple oil/filter changes and open element air filter cleanings
-Seafoamed intake, fuel tank, and crankcase
-PCV Valve & Hose
Additional Diagnostic Measures/Notes:
-MAP tests good for output voltage; voltage also decreases/increases smoothly with vacuum changes.
-Climbed under truck during a stumbling episode and listened to fuel pump...does not cut, stumble, or stall. Very consistent. Pitch of pump never changes.
-Battery tests good and holds charge. Connections are good.
-Visual inspection of old plugs reveals no fouling and no difference in wear between cylinders. Inspection of old wires did not indicate arcing or shorting.
-Injector pattern appears even and good. No drips or cutouts.
-No smoke of any color out exhaust
-No hard or extended starting symptoms, whether hot or cold.
-Accelerates smoothly and handles load without issue. Does not cut or stumble at WOT or on interstate. Also still has plenty of power.
-No codes ever thrown or stored
-No pinging, knocking, ticking, etc. under any circumstance.
-All fluids are clean and levels are good
-No vacuum leaks (carb cleaner test revealed nothing anywhere, and most hoses are new)
Remaining ideas:
-EGR Vacuum Solenoid (had replaced bad valve, but not the solenoid)
-Ignition Module (but that usually dies completely and suddenly...and if not, symptoms also usually present under load/acceleration as well, which is not occurring.)
-MAP Sensor (tests fine, but have heard of them going bad without being off very much or throwing codes)
I don't have the cash to throw those parts at it right now, but would like to see of anyone has any other ideas that I can implement once funds start flowing again.
When it isn't stumbling or dying (e.g. when it's cold or hasn't been driven long), it runs great. I really love this truck, which is why this is driving me so insane. I feel like I've done everything, to no avail.
Any ideas from our more experienced members or techs?
