My GMC 1500 Sierra
Help !! I have a 1998 GMC Sierra 1500 I have done
everything I can possibly do by changing anything I
can possibly change and it's still misfiring and it is
running so bad is there any suggestions anybody
can get me I would so appreciate it
Vortec "spyder" injection system is not the best, you may finally have to replace the system, Have you tried run some SeaFoam in the fuel? See pic.
I just bought a cam shafts positioning sensor I'm going to see if that works if not I don't know what to do LOL
No I will but would that cause misfiring? I mean I'm going to pull my hair out I've done all I can think of
Have you done a compression test? Checked the ignition timing? Checked the ignition coil? If it is an '88 model it's OBD I and won't give misfire codes. Is the check engine or service engine soon light on? If so, what trouble code(s) do you have? Have you done a tune up? Distributor cap, distributor rotor, spark plugs, and spark plug wires? Does it run poorly all the time? Or only when hot? Only when cold? Only when damp/raining/high humidity? HTH. -Jim
The common problem is anti freeze is leak on the inside of the engine onto the spark plug causing a misfire and needs either a head gasket replaced or the gasket and grommets inside of the valve cover under the lifters , either way it needs to be repaired internally.
