    Spider Question

    Well, who would have thought that the new distributor cap would be bad. The last thing I thought it would be was what it was. Found out that the cap was shorting between the #3 and #5 cylinders inside the cap, but you couldn't see it. It's inside the plastic where the 2 cylinders meet...

    Spider Question

    Well, finally swapped out the spider but the issue is still there. Guess i need to do a compression check on #3 and #5 cylinders. Those two plugs were very black and they were new. Swapped out those two plugs, but it's still missing and acting like it did before the spider swap. So, I'm guessing...

    Spider Question

    Mine was being driven fairly regularly. I've tried a cleaner, but i don't think it's going to help. If I can upgrade it, I will. Moto Man fuel injection supply doesn't have anything for it at this time. Waiting to hear back rom them to see if and when they will be in stock again.

    Spider Question

    You smell gasoline outside the vehicle when it's running. I assume that the misfire is from a leaking injector line and dumping fuel into the cylinders in a large gulp instead of a spray mist. The parts on Rock Auto appear to be a standard and an upgraded unit, but I don't know that. Like I...

    Spider Question

    So, my 1996 2500 5.7 with 198000 miles has developed a miss. While nothing has been 100% we believe it's the spider injectors. Strong smell of gasoline, 3 different scanners (2 from reputable shops ) show no electrical issues/ miss fires, No codes at all. Just out of the blue it has developed a...

    96 Vortex 350 starting issues again.

    Yep, thanks. It didn't sink in until after I posted this. Replaced the cap and rotor button and it runs! The "Premium" one that is bad probably hasn't been on it more than a year. Year and a half at the most. I replaced the wires at the same time with AC Delco units. I guess I need to start...

    96 Vortex 350 starting issues again.

    Well, checking today it has no spark, at least on the #1 cylinder. Coil is firing to the distributor, but that's the only thing I know for sure. At some point in my issues I bought an Delphi Ignition Control Module. Kinda pricy, but I don't think that's the issue.

    96 Vortex 350 starting issues again.

    No, not positive but fuel pressure doesn't seem any different as far as trying to start it goes. Yesterday, cranked and cranked holding and or pumping the throttle. After trying to start it a couple times, it fires up. Kinda slow, but starts and runs. Which seems to be the pattern.

    No misfire. It either runs fine or doesn't run.

    96 Vortex 350 starting issues again.

    So, now it's just aggregating. 350 vortex in my 2500. Not driving it everyday but every few days. Long story short, truck one day wouldn't start. Checked fuel pressure and it has 55 ish but no start. So, I had a different spark tester than was recommended for an HEI ignition. I was only able to...

    5.7 Starting Issue

    I bought an entire assembly from Rockauto. Plugged into the old harness just like the stock one.

    5.7 Starting Issue

    Well, the original problem was a bad wire right at the top of the fuel pump assembly. No idea why I had those codes. Stuff I checked were good. After replacing another fuel pump, it still wouldn't pump. Checked the connection and it was hit and miss. Replaced the entire pump and assembly...
