1989 K1500 5.7/350 — stock
Had my old truck running great for at least a year after engine swap, new fuel pump/filter, new TBI leads, TPS, distributor, plugs, etc.
Sitting at the dump, unloading some brush w the truck at idle, and I heard the pitch of the engine change.
Driving out of the landfill, it still runs good, but its suddenly got kind of a sputter, and almost what feels like a miss.
When I get on the gas, power def lacks, and there’s a hesitation.
Feels like it’s going to die sometimes at stoplights, but it doesn’t … idle just kinda stumbles, then catches, then stumbles.
Checked my connections, everything looks solid.
It runs like the timing is off — it is not.
I gotta think something ‘went out’, rather than a tuning issue, due to the suddenness of how the problem manifested.
Y’all got any wisdom to share? I replaced the entire ignition system when I swapped the engine in 2020.
I’m scratching my head here, guys …
