Nearly stalls when braking hard

Hello All. 2014 Silverado LT 2WD w/ 5.3 engine. Only 43,000 miles.

I've had this issue for a while and it's not been figured out yet. When my truck was under warranty, the dealership looked at it a few times and couldn't figure it out. Since there were never any codes, they wouldn't troubleshoot any further. 

It started having a rough idle early on and my mileage dropped some. The dealership acknowledged the rough idle but no solution. They did the induction cleaning(?) but it didn't help.

When the engine is warmed up, and if I come to a faster than normal stop, the engine will die down like it's going to stall, then it will pick back up. The rough idle is always there. There have been 2 times that the engine has actually stalled, but it starts right back up no problem. There are no stall issues when braking normally. Just the constant rough idle.

I've looked on the internet many times for research, and the only thing I've found that sounded similar was someone had an issue with their Evap purge valve. 

Any ideas?

I have a similar issue.  My truck sometimes dies when maneuvering around parking lots when making small inputs to the gas pedal and then releasing.  For instance, if I back out of a parking stall, it will die when I take my foot off the gas pedal to press on the brake pedal.  When I'm backing my camper, it dies almost every time after I take my foot off the gas.  I keep getting told vacuum leak as well, but I have been unable to find any leaks.  I have sprayed ether and MAF cleaner around the intake manifold and could find no issues.  While idling, the RPM would suddenly drop and the motor would stutter.  I cleaned the MAP sensor and the EVAP vent solenoid valve with no success.  Next, I disconnected the fuel vapor line from the EVAP vent solenoid valve and capped the port on the solenoid valve.  It appears to idle much smoother and I have not had it die while driving.  I just did this yesterday, so it's still too early to say for sure.

 

If the issue appears to be gone after driving for a week or so, I'll have to figure out what the issue with the EVAP system is.  It could be the purge valve, the vent valve, the EVAP canister, or maybe a cracked line.

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.

      They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years

      I'd guess that it's because they are Mann-Hummel filters since about 2016, they own Wix and are mostly all made in China now.
