I'm Awesome
Hey folks- 1998 Chevy K2500 5.7L, 250,000 miles, very recent head, intake, and exhaust gasket changes. Had to do quite a bit of jacking on the exhaust pipes down below and had a rough time of it trying to get the manifold bolted back onto the block. I’m sure that was the last straw for the pipe as it exits the muffler on its way to the tailpipe. One of the last sensors that screw into the exhaust pipe was also loose in its fitting, but still plugged in. I have the symptoms you’d expect of louder than usual and exhaust smells, but I’m wondering, would these things also cause a propensity to die during initial acceleration from a stop? Thanks-
