    Spongy Brake Pedal

    I did the typical bleeding, start from back to front. MC was upgraded over 3 years ago. Everything worked fine, good pedal feel, no problems at all till the time i parked it for a few days.

    Spongy Brake Pedal

    Have a 96 GMC single cab V6 stepside. Already did the MC upgrade. Parked the truck, went on vacation for 5 days, came back and tried to drive the truck and had no brakes. Pedal would go all the way to the floor. Looked underneath and there isn' t any visible fluid leaks. Do not hear any...

    Good Carpet Replacement

    Need to replace old gray carpet in single cab stepside. Whats a good company/brand to buy from? All the reviews Ive seen on the carpets available have not been good. Either they dont fit or they are not molded as claimed.

    The Cursed 96 GMC Is Back

    Erratic Idle when warm

    Found the problem. It was a bad O2 sensor. This was kicking my a**, truck was down for over a month. Engine light never came on. Could not get any codes and tried hooking up to a buddy's scanner but his scanner could not connect or didnt have the right software which made this repair very...

    Erratic Idle when warm

    So tested the fuel pressure and thats not the problem. Its showing 17psi when starting and 17psi when its warmed up and having the idle/ power issues. Never fluctuates, a constant 17 psi. Hooked my smoke machine up and found 2 vacuum leaks. Fixed those and still have the problem. So it was...

    Erratic Idle when warm

    Check this out. Obviously this is not normal. I punch the accelerator real fast and the rpms seem to take forever to come down. Bad TPS? Ive replaced it already, maybe a crappy part. I replaced it a year ago and worked perfect. Started having same issues a few weeks ago and replaced the TPS...

    Erratic Idle when warm

    Ive been looking for a fairly decent priced OBD1 scanner but i cant find one. Do the OBD1 scanners give live data info the same way as an OBD2 scanner? I have an OBD2 scanner, i keep coming across adapter cables to adapt the OBD2 to a OBD1 but all have bad reviews. Is that even possible? All...

    Erratic Idle when warm

    Dumb question how the heck would i check that? Use multimeter to that pin 4, one lead to the pin ,one to a ground and see if im getting a constant 5 volts.? Cant i just test it from the connector itself that goes to the ECT and TPS when truck is acting up? Or is it a more accurate reading...

    Erratic Idle when warm

    The ground for the TPS and ECT is the one that is grounded to the thermostat housing right? Gonna get the sensor tomorrow and see what happens.

    Erratic Idle when warm

    Like mentioned in another reply i have access to a scanner but limited in how long i can use it. Been searching the internet and cant find any OBD1 scanner that dont cost an arm and leg. The ECT sensor, is that the one in the manifold or the one on the side of the block on the drivers side? I...

    Erratic Idle when warm

    I have limited access to a scan tool but i wont be able to use it for the amount of time needed for when the symptoms start to occur. Gonna have to figure out a way to make that happen. As for fuel pressure, i really dont think its a fuel pressure problem. Wouldnt the fuel pressure be a problem...

    Hesitation is Back!!

    I made my own diagram cause i couldnt find anything on the internet. Now the O2 sensor that im thinking im having a problem with i think i was mistaken in an earlier post. It is not the O2 sensor before the CAT, its the one right after. O2B1S3 is the one that was reading low. Looking at the...

    Hesitation is Back!!

    I have 3 o2 sensors before the catalytic converter and 1 behind it. Its gonna be O2B1S3, which i assume means O2 Bank 1, Sensor 3, thats giving the low voltage readings. This is the one right before the CAT. Yes the vehicle has 170, 000 plus miles and im amost certain that the 02 sensors have...
