1996 Silverado problem

I currently have no code. However I took data on my scanner twice. The truck sputtered and ran a little rough as soon as I left the driveway. It seem though the further I went it started to get better. Truck has had a catylist system efficiency below threshold for a number of months. I assumed it was a catalytic converter and would not be related. Truck has 342,000 miles. New plugs, wires, cap and rotor in April. Today I replaced Ignition control module and ignition coil. Ensured continuity with battery ground on the ICM harness. Ensured continuity on the white wire from computer to ICM.

 

Problem started as what felt like "slipping" several weeks ago when leaving for work. Did not seem to be getting as many miles pertank either.) Never had that problem again for the rest of the day. This lasted for a few weeks. I put two bottles of fuel injection cleaner in tank and filled up tank. A few days later went out to start and took forever to start. Once did ran rough. Got the code P1351. Did above diagostics. Getting 6 colts to the ICM harness. (calls for 1-4 in book). Checked crank sensor. It is supposed to output "approximately" 5 volts but is outputting 4. Cleaned with a wire brush chasis ground. Code has not come back yet but I have not driven truck other than to do the data test a few minutes ago. (And still seem to be exhibiting problems). All sensors have he reguired supply voltage).

 

On a whim I checked fuel pressure. It was within specs at 64 psi. (Calls for 60-65). However, when turning the key off the pressure drops down a great deal. In 5 minutes it dropped 30 psi. I think my Haynes manual says this is abnormal but not sure.

 

is the truck safe to drive to work? It seems to get better as it warms up but I dont want to get stranded. It is my daily driver and I dont know what to do.

    • 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.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
