    Cranks but won't start.

    I once had the center contact in the distributor cap break at the end of a long trip. Thank heaven I didn’t shut her down until I got home. It was an Autozone product. I now use NAPA caps with brass internals and contacts exclusively.

    Resetting ECM

    Try some Seafoam injector cleaner. Also, what tune up parts did you replace? The dist cap/rotor, air filter, wires and plugs could act this way. So could a loose throttle body.

    Any MPG Fans here??

    My ‘88 C1500 is absolutely stock. When my dad died in ‘07, he left her to me with 89k miles on her. I removed the camper shell and installed a tonneau cover which I much preferred, replaced the towing mirrors with the stock ones, and switched to full synthetic engine oil. And then I carefully...

    Cutting out during hard acceleration

    How old are the plugs, dist cap, aor filter, pcv valve and plug wires? I had your symptoms and she just needed an old fashioned tune up. I also used sea foam injector cleaner. That took care of it.

    Running terribly

    Have you checked the distributor cap, rotor, wires and plugs? Also, run some Seafoam through the fuel system to clean the injectors. Also check the air cleaner and pcv valve and it’s hose. Lastly, spray wd-40 around the base of the throttle body to see if you have a vacuum leak there.

    Ideas needed for 1988 GMC C1500 longbed restore

    Thanks. No, it was on the lot. I advised him to talk to the owner and avoid the going back and forth. They settled on a price and they started doing their finance thing. He said: “oh, I’ll give you a check for the entire amount right now” and pulled out his check book. They called his bank...

    Mine’s as stock as when my dad drove it off the lot new in ‘88 except I replaced the shell with a tonneau and changed the mirrors when he left it to me.

    89 sportside silverado regeneration

    I inherited my Dad’s ‘88 std cab, long bed with 89k miles. It, too, has a 350 TBI and a 4 spd automatic. It was also garaged after he died. I let it sit for a few years. When I revived it I put on new tires, yanked the after marked Jacobs ignition, replaced the brakes pads/shoes, changed the...
