Can anyone tell me how many miles you have to drive after your codes have been cleared, and problems fixed, before you can run through emmissions. I just cleared and repaired air intake check valve(passengers side),and cleared code but emmissions station says I have to drive or wait or whatever, till whenever? I still have to retest, but when?

The computer logs how many time and miles since clearing of fault codes. They want to see several cycles for the computer to report any problems. You will have to ask them. But I would think that 5 cycles and 100 miles should be okay for them.

Silverado cruise problem? by gangof4

I have a 2006 Silverado LS 1500 WD ext cab, a 6 cylinder with 4 speed auto transmission.
 
Everything works fine except when I'm using cruise and doing about 55 and I reach a small hill, the tach jumps to twice the RPMs as the transmission shifts, then the RPMs abruptly drop to normal again. The tach is always in the safe zone.
 
The dealer said (without driving the truck) that this was normal, but it's kinda annoying. Is there a problem?

How to reset a fault code by canayjun64

Hi everyone,
 
Recently, my 2k Silverado 4.8L has been dificult to start when it's hot. I suspected my EGR valve so I disconnected it to see but got the service engine light on now. I know it's not the EGR now but the light stays on.
 
I remember my dealer telling me once how to reset this but I forgot. Could anyone help?
 
Thanks

From your description I would have to agree with the dealer.
Your RPMs do increase when the transmission downshifts but not as much as the tach would indicate. Any sensitive electronic meter will do that given a sudden change in input. It's called overshoot. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

First, go to AutoZone and they will read the code for free and then you will know what to look for. You should be able to turn the SES light off by disconnecting both battery cables and holding the ends together for a couple of minutes. That doesn't work on all vehicles so not completely sure about yours.

Thanks jneal. That's exactly what I did (sort of) I disconnected the negative cable from the battery for about 30 seconds. That did the trick.
 
Now I'll have to see why it's so hard to start when the engine is warmed up.
 
Thanks again!
