    400kpa/60psi vs 550kpa/80psi gauges

    Ran to the parts store for a new AC delco sender, and issue is resolved! Hot idle oil pressue is now good to go. I still don't know if the 2x senders I had before were for the other clusters though.

    400kpa/60psi vs 550kpa/80psi gauges

    Here is my US spec 1992 5.7/5 speed. I'm starting to wonder if I have the wrong sending unit, or cluster issues. This is new oil cold oil pressure (high idle). Tried a new sending unit today, same results.. but didn't look close at the part # for pressure rating. Waiting on a mechanical gauge...

    IAC ECM Inputs

    My understanding is the ECM looks for PRND signal and that changes running characteristics. Mine also has a shift light, which I don't really care about. Not sure if that's on the chip though.

    IAC ECM Inputs

    With the help of the member Skyd, I have finally nailed down what is causing my high idle. His issue was a faulty ECM causing idle issues, instead of replacing my ECM I tracked down some friends who had a couple used ones stashed away for me to try. Very long story short IAC logic is...

    IAC ECM Inputs

    I have since found this post: by DerekTheGreat High idle ONLY while moving Which explains why my idle might be higher while moving.. but doesnt quite solve the extremely long high idle time siitting still. I will eventually post what I find.. if I can somehow find the issue.

    At my wits end with high idle issues.

    That's a great suggestion, I'll have to track one down that can scan it. I have sprayed the intake again thinking it has to be a missing vacuum leak. Checked the booster connection, vac lines again. No signs. Tempted to take the throttle body off and visually inspect, and maybe as far as...

    At my wits end with high idle issues.

    I have replaced the IAC (I use all genuine parts) and it functions like it should when setting base idle etc. If it had the plug replaced and a lead was switched would that cause it to be lazy returning to idle? I have gone through everything else, I'm going to have to start checking for odd...

    Help me decide... 383 or LSx?

    Here is a great recent article on a 383 vs 6.0 LS. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/the-toolbox/project-chevelle-383-vs-ls-shootout-tech-article/30217 You can't go wrong with either, but I voted LS. I like the multiple fuel injection options, oem ignition setup, still evolving after market...

    IAC ECM Inputs

    Bringing up this old thread, my factory 92 C1500 350/5 Speed has this exact same issue. Anyone have the same thing with a solution?

    At my wits end with high idle issues.

    Very interesting thread. I have been reading over any and all high idle issue threads recently. My 92 C1500 350/5 speed has the dreaded high idle until it has ran for 20 minutes. Then it settles. I have checked for vacuum everywhere, set base idle and timing. When I replaced the IAC I did...

    The Stupid Lowered Questions Thread

    Hmm I'd say I'll email Belltech but they weren't much help when I emailed about the loose fit on the c notch. Guess it's worth a try. I am running the spacers as I figured the rear up 6" would mess with the driveshaft angle (some correction on the Belltech spring mounts however). It drives...

    XJ Steering Shaft Upgrade (88-94 Trucks) 95+instructions on page 31

    Is the AC delco part the same as the dorman? I'm hoping this will work for my 92 C1500 as the dorman part is out of stock lots of places.

    The Stupid Lowered Questions Thread

    Just finishing up my 4/6 drop. 92 c1500 rcsb with 5 speed manual. Do I shim the manual trans up as instructed? Hope it doesnt mess with the shifter position etc. Edit: Jammed the spacers in while it was on the lift. Guess I'll see how things are once it's back on the road.

    Belltech notch gap

    If things weren't all closed up here in Canada I'd consider something else. But I have the time and parts so it's going in. I am doing the 3 stage prep and por15 paint on all parts, even the holes I drill, spacers etc before it gets re assembled. It'll live a summer only life so the rust...
