    Anyone know where this goes??

    Took my headers off and noticed this on the ground on the driver side of the truck, I have no idea what it goes too. Probably important

    I’m out of ideas now. Random misfire, hard start.

    Update, took it for a test drive, no more codes. However, it doesn’t seem to have much power, and when I try to pull out from a side road across traffic, normally you give it a good amount of throttle, it’ll cut out and sputter and almost want to stall, one time it back fired. What does that...

    I’m out of ideas now. Random misfire, hard start.

    Apparently the 96-97 don’t need a crank relearn. The cam was put it dot to dot. However, getting a hold of black bear is tough. He gave me a tip and it worked some what. Adjusting the throttle blade… so he said that with the big cam, it’s not getting enough air on start up, the pcm is trying to...

    Front bed rail mount?

    Anyone know where you can get that square bed mount that has the 2 front bolts for the bed? I’m not sure what it would be called, can’t find it anywhere.

    I’m out of ideas now. Random misfire, hard start.

    Thanks for the knowledge! Yes Yes it goes into high idle for a couple seconds That I forget, but I swapped to my old computer to test, and the timing was still the same Random misfire only. With the MAP plugged in When I first took the truck for a test drive it threw a crank sensor code, I...

    I’m out of ideas now. Random misfire, hard start.

    You are a great person and I really appreciate the input. I am too someone who asks too many questions but I like to gather as much info as possible, I’ve read probably 50 forums trying to figure out what is going on. I do have a mail order tune from black bear performance. He’s very...

    I don’t personally know anything about hidden areas, legit for spamming purposes just sounds ridiculous lol, maybe some people but not me. Looking like something and actually being something is totally different, like I stated, I don’t want my posts to just get washed away because I know there’s...

    Great input, just didn’t want my thread to get lost in the abyss, so I made new ones, idk why people get mad at new threads, we’re all mostly here for the same reason.

    I’m out of ideas now. Random misfire, hard start.

    I did the distributor after this all was happening, same thing still happening. Cam retard is at 0. Distributor TDC, compression stroke, pointing at #1 cyl.

    I’m out of ideas now. Random misfire, hard start.

    Still trying to get some insight on this, when I feel like I’ve narrowed it down, I’m just back to square one. Sorry for the long post. Did a lt4 hot cam, not sure if that will cause the misfire, tuned ecm from black bear for it. 97 5.7l , random misfire, shakes every few seconds or so at...

    5.7 Random Misfire & Hard start Help

    It’s a brand new Cloyes set. I did just start it up, and I was listening for any weird noises, I hear some tapping coming from the valve cover, right by cyl 2. I’m assuming the rocker arm is a little out of adjustment. I did 3/4 turn on them after 0 lash when I put it together.

    5.7 Random Misfire & Hard start Help

    Is it the tune itself? Giving the truck too much fuel at startup? It’ll start if I give it throttle.

    Random misfire and hard start 1997 5.7 k1500

    Recently did a LT4 hot cam, with all the necessary parts etc. Thing fired right up first start, ran fine, no misfires. Fast forward a couple weeks, trying to figure out the hard start after the first start of the day issue. Replaced trying to find the hard start: (All GM parts, no junk) IGM...

    Chirp from new power steering pump??

    You were exactly right, it wasn’t mechanical. The header gasket blew on the front side of cyl 1, within minutes of the first start a week or so ago, didn’t even cross my mind to cover it with a rag, sure enough, cover up where it’s leaking and the chirp quiets right down, weird it would make...

    Chirp from new power steering pump??

    ‘97 5.7l. So I put a new GM Genuine power steering pump in, jacked it up, bled it out, turned the wheel probably 30 times each way. Fired it up let it run with the cap off, but kept having this weird chirp coming from the pump itself, doesn’t increase with rpm. Figured it was Time for a new belt...

    Starts when it sits, rough start when it’s warm 97 5.7

    Replaced the ignition coil and control module, still doing it. Saw some people say maybe the temp sensor? Idk it’s really annoying, want this thing to run 100%

    Starts when it sits, rough start when it’s warm 97 5.7

    The fuel pump does prime, if you turn the key on for a couple seconds, if you turn if off and turn it right back on it won’t prime, I’m assuming thats supposed to be like that.. I do believe it bleeds off too fast after you shut it off.. but if I wait like 20 min or so it’ll start fine and run...
