So I am new to this forum as well as owning an American vehicle, so please don't be too rough with me haha. Anyway, I recently received an 88 K1500 from a family member and am slowly trying to give it the TLC it needs as it has sat for many years with little usage. Truck has around 66k miles on it and has a 350 TBI engine and is automatic, not sure transmission code, again, new to the American made scene.
Anyway, as I have been driving it more over the past few weeks than it probably has been driven in the past year, I started to notice that when I let the truck idle while warming up and even after warmed up, the idle seems to be very "lopey"(if that is the correct terminology) and I notice the oil pressure also seems to fluctuate significantly in relation to the idle.
I haven't really had the time to look too deeply into this yet or throw parts at it, just wanted to see if anyone has any insight on common problems with that era 350 engine. Thought maybe this could be a common problem with a quick fix, but if not, thanks for any advice any one can provide.
