My 97 tahoe with the 5.7 vortec was running fine then randomly died and wouldn't restart. Wasnt able to mess with it for a few days and when I was able to get to it it of course fired up and ran fine. That was several weeks ago now and has continued to run normally. I've watched fuel trims...
It now runs like timing us out but only once it's warm. Runs fine cold. Distributor was out last year and looked like new and according to scan tool is set at 0 like it should be
Been a while but have an update. After getting the new scan tool the Tahoe has been running great making it hard to track down problems. That is until today. This afternoon it started to run extremely rough and threw a p1345 code. Is there a way to test the cam and crank position sensors? They...
I've never seen a plastic distributor in these. I didn't know that was a thing. Every vortec I've owned had an aluminum. All must have been swapped at some point before me owning them
As far as I know the distributor is stock but mine is aluminum with a plastic cap. Had the distributor out last year for a misfire problem and thought it was the gear. It looked like new still. Oil has always looked good so I don't think it's tore up the gear in that time
I just checked physically to make sure it wasn't loose or out of adjustment. My scanner doesn't have much by way of info like that on it. It will read codes and show me throttle position, 02 sensors and a few other small things
About the same age as the injectors. Was running rough and when I checked fuel pressure it was low enough that I was surprised it even started so I put a pump in. It helped but still wasn't right. Then i discovered the deal with the injectors
I know I watched 02 sensor readings one of the last times I had it out and if I remember correctly there was no real change in them. As far as knock counts if my scan tool is able to tell me actual counts I haven't been able to find it on there. And I really wish I could monitor torque converter...
