  1. I have a 1994 Chevy C1500, 5.7L engine. My truck idled high and I finally got around to replacing the idle air control valve. This didn't fix the problem and it continued to idle high. I determined the issue to be a vacuum leak, so I replaced my vacuum hoses and checked connections. I tested by spraying carb cleaner and the engine still bogged down at this so I cleaned the throttle body and made a new gasket for the throttle body because that one was falling apart. After doing this, the truck began idling extremely low. It threw the EGR code, so I have since replaced the EGR valve and EGR solenoid. Neither of these fixed the problem. Next on the list is to replace the throttle body gasket along with the distributor cap and rotor. Additionally, my truck will also struggle to accelerate. The confusing part is this- there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to the low idle. Sometimes, the truck idles in park at 800-900 RPM and is able to adjust the idle to the load of the AC being turned on. Other times, it idles in park at what is most likely 300-400 RPM because it doesn't even register on the gauge. It does not seem to have any consistency as to if the engine is hot or cold- it just seems to be whenever it feels like it. This evening, while working on it, it started straight up once and idled great at 800 or so RPM and handled AC and headlight load. While the AC was running, we unplugged the wire that makes the AC compressor run- this dropped the RPM down to around 700 and it never recovered from that. The truck was turned off and started again. This time it idled around 700. Truck was turned off and started again- this time it idled around 500-600. The truck was turned off and now it had to be given gas to start and idled low, around 400-500. Any ideas to explain what is causing this? We are all going mad trying to troubleshoot this and figure it out. We've checked so many things and nothing seems to be causing the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  2. I have an '02 Sierra 1500, 4WD, Canadian built, 4.8L V8. It starts perfectly every morning and I have no issues while the engine is running. After the first start if i turn the engine off for more than 10 minutes I have a rough start and get intense fumes in the cab. If it's off for 10 mins or less it starts up without issue. Within the past 8 months I have replaced: Fuel pump Fuel filter All four O2 sensors MAF sensor Catalytic converter Spark plugs & wires I'm not getting a check engine light and a code reader comes up empty. Any suggestions? Mike
  3. Hello, I went to go crank my truck and it started but sounded horrible. The whole truck started shaking and the rpm's were dropping and the fuel gauge was twitching. I drove a mile down the road to the GM dealership and on the way the check engine light was flashing. The tech read the code and it came back as P0137 which I believe is an O2 sensor. Would a sensor cause my truck to die? 2015 Silverado 1500 LTZ 77k miles.
