Mine is a 2000 4.8 vortec, the check engine light would come on and go off, then it stayed o and started to idle rough and then the light started blinking and it developed a mess I replaced the MAF sensor the idle air valve with new plugs and plug wires in it and now the light stays on and it idles pretty good but when you put it in gear it develops a mess what do you think about that
