Sputtering while coasting

While driving my 2014 Silverado, I never have a problem if I accelerate quickly. However, there has been skipping/sputtering when I coast or slowly accelerate. This is not a clicking, loud knocking sound like I see most describe on here... Anyone have any idea what it could be?  Thanks in advance! If needed I can try and video the sound later on today.

Haven’t notice a drop in in MPG’s. The noise isn’t from one particular area. It doesn’t really matter the speed it occurs when I am just press the pedal down enough to maintain my speed. The noise and feeling is very similar to if you were to let off the gas and then press it down again.  My current guess is that one of the spark plugs is starting to go bad and is not firing like it is suppose to. I just hit 105,000 miles on it.

I have a strange sputtering sound too. It sort of sounds like a paper flapping in the intake tube, but it's also like a helicopter sputter sound. Seems to be coming from the passenger side of the engine. I can hear it in the cab and hear it out the back of the exhaust. No loss of power and it also comes and goes - no rhyme or reason. When mine is making the noise, it will do it mostly at light/medium throttle like you said. I'm taking it into the dealer tomorrow as a matter of fact. But watch it not make the noise while I go on the ride-along. This just started happening about 1000 miles ago (and I'm around 21,400 now)

 

I also have the rumble strip feeling in my steering wheel that I'll have looked at tomorrow. They'll probably do a transmission fluid flush to get the new 8-speed fluid in there. Here's another thread about the rumble strip feeling.

My mods are: No V4 because of the tune and the supercharger, methanol injection, smaller ZPE pulley, gates green belt, catch can, AEM dry filter, and Magnaflow 12909. We'll see if they open the hood and say, "Nope, too many mods, not touching it."

My sputtering sound issue turned out to be a broken exhaust manifold gasket. Replaced under warranty and it's all good now. Torque is back where it used to be.

 

And the rumble strip feeling has gone away with the new 8 speed fluid. It's only been 200-300 miles, but the clunks are very rare now, it shifts better, and the trans temps are way lower.

What was the end result? Mine is a 2016 and it is doing the same thing!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      These show the problem and symptoms, and I explain things too. to clarify again, I did not change over any computers or wiring (with the exception of the map sensor). All of the computers and wiring are original to the 2010 vehicle   video 1 - background info/explanation and part of the problem   video 2, idle misfire   I think the reason that the MAP sensor is reading High is because the engine is misfiring so there is less vacuum...   Additionally there's a p0102 for the MAF low frequency, and a p0108 for the map high voltage.        Again, apologies for the somewhat long-winded explanation, it's a rather difficult problem to explain without going into the details.

      DFM Disabler

      You'd want the Pulsar to be safe.  That was the first product that worked for 10 speed trucks that they came out with.   Range Technology 22451 Pulsar LT for 2019-2022 GM Gas Trucks     That said, in the features description of the RA003B, it does list it working with 10 speeds.  However there are reports that the RA003B can cause some drivability issues on early 10 speeds.  So the Pulsar is the safest move IMO.      Range Technology RA003B AFM/DFM Disabler   Features: Range AFM/DFM Disabler keeps you in full power 100% of the time Simply plug into your onboard OBD-II port and it instantly begins working to eliminate the AFM system Disables Auto Start/Stop Blue LEDs The Range AFM/DFM Disabler does not reprogram factory ECU Works in hundreds of applications, 2007-2022, including 10-speed models. Leaves no trace, unplug it to return to factory settings Virtually no battery draw Fits all V6 and V8 General Motors (GM) active or dynamic fuel management vehicles, includes cars, trucks, and SUVs This device does not support the 2022.5+ Refresh model trucks or 2021+ SUVs To confirm your 2022 model truck is compatible with this unit, check your VIN. The 12th digit in an early model must be a '4' or lower Made in USA

      I have a 2019 new body style high country with a 6.2l L87 and a 10 speed transmission code MQB. Looking for a disabler that is compatible. Most show it’s not. I watched a video on utube from Dons Life that says Ranges RA003B is compatible but when you go to Ranges website and check compatibility it only has a 8L90 trans listed which is an 8 speed.  I don’t want to buy the wrong one. Anyone have any experience with this situation?

      This actually happened. Be careful where you get your information re: gas price trends.

      I understand the principle...you don't want to spend $150 for a $0.02 piece of plastic or a little screw and perch thingy.   But this is a problem that looks like it can be reliably solved with a zip tie.   That might hold you over until you can score one at a pick-a-parts yard.
