2004 Chevy Avalanche 1500 Z71 4WD
Truck has 414K miles, engine still going strong with
regular maintenance. Replaced alternator and
serpentine belt 2 months ago. Just returned from
trip and no problems at all. This morning I went to
the store and when I came out to start the truck it
fired up then shut off...I started it again and if I keep
the RPMs up it will stay running but shuts off when
it tries to idle. It did this several times. I eventually
was able to get it started and kept the RPMs up
while in neutral. when I got home and put it in park
it rough idled then died... I noticed the clock on the
dash had reset to 1200 which tells me this is more
of an electrical issue than it is fuel...and yes I had
the fuel pump replaced about 2 years ago
(expensive cause they have to drop the gas tank
since it’s inside the darn tank.). Any help is
appreciated!
