I'm Awesome
I am having issues with my 1993 c2500 (Light Duty) TBI 350.
This started about a month ago like this -
Quick startup, no issues, pull out of driveway and accelerate to first stop.
Enine stalls dead. Put in neutral, turn key to crank, starts up and drives.
Hesitation/bogging feeling at around 1500 to 2000 rpm, no stalling.
Bogging goes away after a few times, does not return with subsequent driving through the day.
About 2 weeks ago -
Early stalling issue is not occurring anymore, bogging is a bit more consistent however, still goes away after a few times and still not an issue with subsequent starts and stops.
2 days agon - no stalling issues, some now "reliable" bogging on the startup and then disappears. Took a 20 minute freeway drive with no issues until I made a stop at a drive thru. In drive and stopped with foot on the break, vehicle dies instantly as if all power/spark was cut out.
I put into drive and crank car, starts and stumbles dead, try again and the same.
Now the strange part to me is that if I turn the ignition off as if i am going to pull the key out - and then start the car, it will start up and run.
At this point the car will start and run, it now will lose power (cut out dead) on deceleration like coasting or a slow down to a red light, and will start up by going to the ignition off position and then cranking.
I was lucky to make it home the other day, and it started right up yesterday morning with no issues, idles just fine and i let it run for a while in the driveway looking for knocks or pings.
CEL is not on, but I do have a occasional flash from it once in a while for a code 43 that from what i read could be a knock sensor or anywhere in between.... this has come and gone on occasion while driving in the last 2 years, but I have never felt a knock or any issue before.
I am ready now ready to throw parts st this....lol
Thanks for reading this through and any help in advance.
