    Gray wire is consistent between koeo and idle at 5 volts. Ground is consistent Pin c is moving between .5 and 2 volts randomly now with no movement in sensor or throttle. guess it's time to get another sensor and hope I don't break another bolt

    PCV issues

    1989 c1500 5.7 tbi I’m fighting a high idle issue and I’ve sprayed carb cleaner all around the intake manifold, throttle body gasket, and all hoses under vacuum. I think the culprit is my PCV valve. I have a new one installed and it’s functioning properly. The stock hose has no leaks but at idle...

    5.7 TBI tuning

    I have a 89 c1500 with the 5.7 tbi and I want to get into tuning. This is my spare run around vehicle and I think it’s a decent platform to start considering it is all stock and I have replaced most all maintenance parts and it runs well. I’m debating between getting a chip burner or saving for...

    1989 c1500 long bed single cab 5.7 build log

    Bought an injector spacer to be put on today and I may have found my issue. The injector housing wasn’t on tight and there was a gas leak around the regulator area. After the install I started it up and let it idle. No issues since

    1989 c1500 long bed single cab 5.7 build log

    Injectors spray nice and evenly in a cone shape. It’s more of a random rough idle on start up. It happens sometimes when it’s a cold start. Has happened on a hot start. It idles down nicely unless of low on coolant, which I think is where the coolant isn’t properly reaching the CTS for the ECU...

    Rear running lights not turning on

    Put in new rear light boards because my brake lights weren’t working and I had power coming to the rear. Rebuild the section of harness at the rear bumper. I don’t power with the parking light switch on in the rear, but the fronts come on. No torn wires under the dash that I’ve found, the...
