Good. Compression test also good dealership said its BC I don't have cats and o2 sensors are bad. But cats have been off for years and this "missing" and rough idle are new. No codes for misfires showing

By new I meant new plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor button,fuel filter, cleaned mass air flow and sensor. I know you answer thousands of posts so you won't remember that this is what you suggested in earlier post months ago. B ut the problem remains. And scanner only shows intermittent...

I have same issue with my 97. Please post any help you get. Have also replaced plugs,wires,cap,rotor and no change. May be fuel poppet valve clogged on the injecinjecand not spraying fuel properly

As in first post, new everything. Been down the checklist. This is what I'm down to: knock sensor, spider

Scanner plugged in idle, no miss. Kept it plugged in,went for a ride and got it to miss. Showed random, intermittent misfires on 3,5, and 6. Going uphill on the interstate and then letting it shift into OD causes it everytime. Also when pulling my 16 ft trailer with lawn equipment it misses...

125k. Trying to keep from having to replace spider

Truck missing under load or uphill. New everything, still missing. 97 2dr 5.7 vortech Took it in for scanning,couldn't diagnose. Tech said he thinks poppet valve isn't letting enough fuel in when necessary. Another possibility mentioned to me is knock sensor gone bad. Never heard of this...

I paid 4G for my 97 with 125k. Excellent interior, in dash DVD stereo (no amp or sub) ,stock lift,with bald tires. Since then I've put 2g in it and it still doesn't look (or sound, probably )as goods this one. Point is,if you like it,and you got it, then buy it!

Miss is still there. But scanner only shows codes p430 and p420. I don't have cats . it ran fine for 1/2 day then miss came back. So I know its able to run correctly,just chooses not to.

97. 125 k. I changed fuel filter and ran 2 cans of sea foam about a month ago. The miss went away for a day and a half after I did tune up. Then came back and light back on

Had misfire. Replaced all plugs,wires,distributor, and rotor. Cleaned mass air flow and map sensor. Cleared codes and ran fine for about 3/4 day. Hooked up my trailer that had crepe myrdle branches and other debris from trimming the shrubs and after only a mile nrazor two under just a...

Wjer is the proper section bc I wanna learn too

Im sure it could use a complete tune up.what is MAF? And what kind of cleaner? Sorry about frustration caused by my unintelligence.

PO108, PO161, PO305B My understanding is MAP sensor, O2 sensor (bank2 sensor2) & misfire #5. Is it true if the check engine light is on the truck runs in some sort of "safe" mode with reduced HP & MPG?

Ok. I'm fixing the exhaust leak tomorrow. Then I'll run diagnostic again and write down the codes. It's only gurgled that one time but it's missing real bad and I have to let it warm up 10 minutes . Thanks for your time and input
