98 K1500 5.7 vortec Rough Idle


Recommended Posts

To start off the truck runs great other than the shakes at low rpms, and has been this way for 7,500 miles when I bought the truck 8 months ago.

 

The problem does not occur when the engine is cold, only when warmed up and doesnt happen everytime it is warm. It feels as the truck wants to jump off the brake as it shakes, if put in park the truck continues to shake. Rpms so not bounce around and are around 1100 cold, 600 warm. No codes or misfires.

The following has been replaced throughout the 8 months without effect:

 

Distributor gear, rotor and cap, intake manifold gaskets, water pump, and other small sensors.

I have heard that idle air control valve could be the issue, the spider fuel injectors leaking fuel, fuel filter, vacuum leak.

Any help or advice would be very appreciated!

i would run some seafoam or fuel additive to clean the lines and injectors. also check the idle sensor one of those went bad in my gramps old 350 and it was a nightmare trying to keep that thing idling. good luck!
