Hi,
I’m new to this forum but some help would be very much appreciated.
My K1500 is from -92 with 170k miles, the truck’s been sitting a lot since the last 10 years..
It runs very rich and tailpipe is black with soot.
Gas mileage is never above 10mpg.
Truck runs very good when cold, but the check engine light comes on and disappears when engine gets warm, code 13, O2 sensor, it also runs sluggish at idle and low speeds when engine is hot. Never stalls
Sparkplugs, rotor, cap, and O2 sensor are replaced recently.
Everything else is probably original.
Any advice on what to look for, to lower the trucks drinking problem a bit..?
Also any advice on a good scan tool so I can read the data, and where to find the right values for the different sensors?
Thanks!
