    Anyone know where this goes??

    Took my headers off and noticed this on the ground on the driver side of the truck, I have no idea what it goes too. Probably important

    I’m out of ideas now. Random misfire, hard start.

    Update, took it for a test drive, no more codes. However, it doesn’t seem to have much power, and when I try to pull out from a side road across traffic, normally you give it a good amount of throttle, it’ll cut out and sputter and almost want to stall, one time it back fired. What does that...

    Apparently the 96-97 don’t need a crank relearn. The cam was put it dot to dot. However, getting a hold of black bear is tough. He gave me a tip and it worked some what. Adjusting the throttle blade… so he said that with the big cam, it’s not getting enough air on start up, the pcm is trying to...

    Front bed rail mount?

    Anyone know where you can get that square bed mount that has the 2 front bolts for the bed? I’m not sure what it would be called, can’t find it anywhere.

    Thanks for the knowledge! Yes Yes it goes into high idle for a couple seconds That I forget, but I swapped to my old computer to test, and the timing was still the same Random misfire only. With the MAP plugged in When I first took the truck for a test drive it threw a crank sensor code, I...

    You are a great person and I really appreciate the input. I am too someone who asks too many questions but I like to gather as much info as possible, I’ve read probably 50 forums trying to figure out what is going on. I do have a mail order tune from black bear performance. He’s very...

    I don’t personally know anything about hidden areas, legit for spamming purposes just sounds ridiculous lol, maybe some people but not me. Looking like something and actually being something is totally different, like I stated, I don’t want my posts to just get washed away because I know there’s...

    Great input, just didn’t want my thread to get lost in the abyss, so I made new ones, idk why people get mad at new threads, we’re all mostly here for the same reason.

    Still trying to get some insight on this, when I feel like I’ve narrowed it down, I’m just back to square one. Sorry for the long post. Did a lt4 hot cam, not sure if that will cause the misfire, tuned ecm from black bear for it. 97 5.7l , random misfire, shakes every few seconds or so at...

    5.7 Random Misfire & Hard start Help

    It’s a brand new Cloyes set. I did just start it up, and I was listening for any weird noises, I hear some tapping coming from the valve cover, right by cyl 2. I’m assuming the rocker arm is a little out of adjustment. I did 3/4 turn on them after 0 lash when I put it together.

    5.7 Random Misfire & Hard start Help

    Is it the tune itself? Giving the truck too much fuel at startup? It’ll start if I give it throttle.
