Hey guys, hoping to pick your brains on a rough idle issue I’m having with my 97 GMC 2500 pickup, 454, 80k miles. Long story short, I had a blow out towing my 30ft travel trailer a few weeks ago. Engine died pulling a hill, no restart. Upon diagnosing, I found the pin gear on the dizzy stripped out/broke. Replaced it and then I was getting no spark at plugs and only one spark from the coil. Finally traced the no spark/one spark issue back to the crank sensor. It strangely worked once when you cranked it over then nothing after that. Replaced it and it fired right up. Now it idles rough below 1000 rpms like a vacuum leak somewhere. Struggles to stay running at a stop light then kinda hesitates when I give it gas to get going. Also, kinda rich smelling when it idles. Runs like a champ driving on the road above 1000 rpm. Everything seems to check out fine, no codes, dizzy in correctly, just very poor idle. I haven’t started the shake down of the EGR, IAC, etc but plan to today. What really has me stumped is no cel or codes? Also, since the cam sensor and crank sensor have both been replaced (new cam sensor with the new dizzy) is the issue with the new crank sensor needing to be relearned? Then again, no codes or cel. Any thoughts??? New parts replaced within the last two years: fuel pump and filter, fuel regulator, Bosch injectors, egr pipe, plugs and wires.
