    99 Tahoe 5.7L Starting Problem

    OK, so I previously read a post on the MAF sensor and did that initially and it did not make a difference. Later today I will pull the #1 plug and check it. When this all started, the truck was driven home on Friday and would not start on Monday. After I replaced the coil I did get it started...

    99 Tahoe 5.7L Starting Problem

    The truck would not start this morning, was firing but no go. The security is ok, it flashes 3 times when the key is turned on then goes out. I will check the temp sensor later today when I have a chance. While reviewing threads someone stated that a cold start would not happen unless it had 65...

    99 Tahoe 5.7L Starting Problem

    So, I took out the coil and tested it. 1 test did not show anything, one showed within range and the third was out of range. I replaced it and it started, it was rough but running pretty good right now. It did get flooded when it did not start before, that right now is what I am contributing to...

    misfire cyl #5

    My son did a tune up on my 99 5.7L, Cap, rotor, plugs, wires, as I just purchased the vehicle. After that I had a misfire on 5. Was getting ready to pull the top intake off when we decided to check the power to the SFI. What we found is that he must have leaned on the connector to the SFI and...

    Barn Doors

    I purchased a 99 Tahoe with Barn Doors, and the bushings are worn out. I can't get the hinge pins out. I beat on them with a 2lb mall, and I tried using a C Clamp to press them out. No they do not have a clip on them. I could use any advise on how to get these darn things out. The door sags...
