Question
r2142
I am at my wits end. I own a 1997 C1500 Silverado extended cab and I have just rolled past 210k miles. I wish to keep the truck since I cannot find the money to buy a new one so I have been repairing and replacing as necessary, which brings me to my issue.
I have owned the truck for 3 years and bought it at 160k miles and at the time it had some issues with it in the engine as it didn't idle just right and it choked up on hard acceleration so I replaced all the usual and got my power back but the truck always had a bit of a stumble that never went away. I replaced nearly every part that deals with ignition and timing and got to the point this January that I had enough money to pay someone to rebuild an engine for me and pulled the original engine and dropped in the new one (rebuilt).
now the fun part, the stumble issue showed up in the new engine as well. I have paid two different shops to diagnose and bother cannot find the issue in why it is misfire. The kicker, is all the misfires occur in just the front of the engine in cylinder 3 (the worst) and 2 and 4. The other cylinders do not misfire and the miss is visible at idle and can be felt at any throttle while driving.
The parts from the old engine were transferred to the new engine
normally I would have assumed the issue was in the spider injector but it passed leak down test flawlessly.
One more issue is it would seem that the computer is trying to cut fuel and the truck is running slightly lean.
I am currently considering that even though the EGR test passes it may be possible that there is something wrong with it opening too far and messing with the front cylinders.
Any assistance anyone who has an idea would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
