I recently took my 93 Silverado into a shop because my engine surges at idle. Before bringing the truck in I tested the EGR valve, EGR solenoid, did a fuel pressure test, improved the ground wires, tested for vacuum leaks, I suspected the problem might be with the computer. I used to have a 350 tbi engine (VIN #: K) in the truck, and I swapped in a crate 350 Vortec motor in (VIN#: R). The technician at the shop wasn’t able to get the surging to stop by checking for mechanical problems. The technician suggested having the computer flashed to match a Vortec motor with VIN #: R. I’m a greenhorn when it comes to computer fixes, so I have a few questions:
1) Does a computer flash seem like a reasonable explanation/fix?
2) Does anyone have a reputable company they can recommend for this type of flash?
3) Could I simply buy a refurbished computer intended for a 96-98 truck with a Vortec motor as a fix? Here’s a link to what I’m thinking: computer
Thanks for any advice!
