Please help!! 99 silverado w/5.3 and auto. After a freeway downshift to go up a grade, 65-70 mph, check engine light flashed repeatedly then steady, lost power then shot off. It will start but no power. very rough idle. Replaced MAF sensor, MAP sensor, and TP sensor. still won't run. Also, I have spark at all the ignition modules.

Pulled any codes? Checked fuel filter and fuel pressure

 

 

Thanks for the response. When it occurred, I had P0302 (cylinder 2 misfire) in addition to the P0101 code. I have only had the P0101 code after it broke down. About 1000 miles before the breakdown had new plugs, wires, fuel filter, battery...

 

Would a failed cat cause a truck to be undrivable? I bought the truck with about 100k on it. I'm at 270k now. It always passes smog without issue, last one 2 years ago.

Disconnected y-pipe, started right up. Cant tell if the idle is rough or not but it doesnt cut off. was able to get it in gear and could probably drive it if I had to.

Removed the passenger side valve cover and there it was...first spring smashed to bits. i could hear the tapping when I ran it but i figured it was the typical tap I normally got on start up, but louder since it was misfiring. I just need a few months out of it so ill replace the spring and maybe the rod(if the valve isnt bent).

 

I stay regular with changes (mobile one synthetic and lucas). Thinking about replacing both heads but what will that do to the bottom end?? will it blow it out? How can I tell if the Valve is bent. Once I have the spring off, should I be able to move/spin the valve. When the spring broke, it stayed in place. the valve is stuck open. how can I know if the valve hit the piston without pulling the head?

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
