#1448 of 1497 Engine miss under load by Crotalus Sep 06, 2006 (6:31 pm)
Hello. I'm new to this forum and have a 93 Silverado with the 5.7 L engine (throttle body). It misses badly under a load (mainly going uphill). It misses a little at idle but the miss under load is making it almost undriveable. I had this problem about 12 months ago and did a complete tune-up which fixed it for several months. I had new plugs installed (they were already fouled) and replaced the MAP sensor a few weeks ago. This time the fix lasted less than a week. Oh yeah, have changed fuel filter to no avail as well. I need some help as to where I should go now... ERG system? ignition? timing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Replies to this message: hotrod14 (Sep 11, 2006 9:28 am)

Replying to: Crotalus (Sep 06, 2006 6:31 pm) is the check engine light on? if so are you getting a dtc p0300 code if so it could be a valve problem

Replying to: vrk0057 (Aug 27, 2006 9:58 am) did you check the oil pressuse switch, i think if the oil pressure drops the oil pressure switch will cut off the power to the fuel pump, or the oil pump is not producing enought pressure, its worth a try if everything else is ok (3prong type) Replies to this message: vrk0057 (Sep 12, 2006 5:54 pm)

Replying to: hotrod14 (Sep 12, 2006 9:58 am) Hi hotrod;   This past weekend we jumped a wire from the positive (to bypass the fuel relay and oil pressure switch)battery terminal to the fuel test slot on the ALDL connector under the dash. The fuel pump came on and stayed on, but the engine still died. Afterwards it is very very hard to restart. I think our next step is the pickup coil then ignition module. Someone mentioned a crank sensor as a culprit. We have a factory repair manual for this vehicle, but there is no crank sensor, or crank angle sensor, or cam sensor listed. Several experts have said it has one, but the auto parts places don't sell one, and i don't think it is a dealer-only part. Thanks for your help, and any other advice you have is surely welcome...
#1453 of 1497 '98 Silverado Transmission Problems by ltw12000 Sep 15, 2006 (5:34 am)
We had to have our transmission rebuilt recently at 72,000 miles and now the truck keeps shifting out of overdrive and acting sluggish? Anybody have any ideas what's up?
#1454 of 1497 engine reduced power by dbrinkman Sep 17, 2006 (5:14 am)
My 2003 chevy silverado has a new fuel pump and a new Tac Module. The symptoms are while driving regardless of length of time or speed of driving and it happens whenever, the engine loses power and shuts down. There are no unique patterns as it may not happen for two or five tanks of fuel. The engine will still run at 1000 rpm and runs smooth but has no acceleration. You can put the gas pedal all the way to the floor and it's as if there is no communication from the pedal to the motor. When you put it in park, shut it off and wait about 2 minutes, it restarts and everything is back to normal. Has anyone had this problem. Please help

Replying to: mpikchik (Jul 23, 2006 1:35 pm) I'm a little late replying to this post,but I don't see any replies so here's my 2 cents worth.... It sounds like maybe you have a clogged fuel filter. Change the filter and see what happens.
