    Weird Misfire '99 GMC Sierra K1500 5.7L

    WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME! :P My truck is in my sig, but I forgot that on mobile browsers it doesn't show up by default. Anyway, added info to OP and thread title. I'm using the Torque app to monitor so I can see the count. I've used the same app (with a different profile, obviously) on my...

    Weird Misfire '99 GMC Sierra K1500 5.7L

    Looking for some guidance with a weird misfire in a '99 GMC Sierra K1500 5.7L. I've got a P0300, but no cylinder specific codes. At idle while in Park cylinder 1 has an occasional misfire. When I put it in Drive and still idling cylinder 2 starts misfiring pretty heavily and 1 still has the...

    Brake line burst

    Are you referring to the line that runs along the frame rail near the tank? I just had mine burst today as well and if we're having the same issue I don't want to start a new thread.

    Crank No Start

    Funny thing now is that the misfire is only showing as a pending code and the engine light never came back on.

    Crank No Start

    So, I am a horrible person and haven't verified my compression or leak down yet. What I have done is get my ICM tested and it's good after three tests. New plug wires and cap and rotor. A lot of my issues have vanished. I'm still getting a major stumble under load and I will test the...

    Crank No Start

    Found out that one of the screws (back one) for the cap has stripped the hole in the distributor. As a temporary fix I used a zip tie for troubleshooting. That did help with a noticeable amount of the backfiring and I'm able to use a bit more throttle before I notice the loss of power. I've...

    Crank No Start

    The scanner, both Torque and my Actron, have given me cylinder specific misfire codes previously. Now it's just the P0300. I did also get a P0507 last night, but found a jacked up o-ring that was causing a vacuum leak. That problem has been fixed, but the misfire persists.

    Crank No Start

    Oops, typo in post. I meant to say new MSD coil, not module.

    Crank No Start

    Got everything back together. It starts. It runs. It sounds awful. I'm getting a P0300 and it falls flat on its face when I give it gas under acceleration. At idle it's fine with an occasional "pop." Using a bluetooth OBD adapter and Torque I've checked and adjusted the CMP offset and it's...

    Crank No Start

    After my truck was sitting for over a year I finally broke down and had it towed to a shop for a diagnostic. I figured I had probably overlooked something in the umpteen times I've messed with it and it came down to a really stupid mistake. Lo and behold I was right. I had a broken wire from the...

    Crank No Start

    The plugs were one of the first things I checked. They're not fouled fortunately although I do have new plugs that I plan on installing after I get the truck running. I've also checked all of the wires back to the PCM and I don't seem to have any shorts and the voltage is where it's suppose to...

    Crank No Start

    I've already changed the crank sensor out previously...very greasy/oily. My issue that I'm stuck on now is the constant 10V that I'm getting on the signal wire when it should be the on/off ~5V as the engine is rotated.

    Crank No Start

    I missed this when I was reading through earlier. Honestly, I haven't even looked at that. I'll check that out too.

    Crank No Start

    Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I finally had a bit more time to dig into this...if 30 minutes counts. :P After further troubleshooting I've determined that there is no signal to the ICM or the coil while the engine is cranking. The next step was to check the crank sensor as mentioned...
