upper intake removal - Page 4

the sad part is i think the starting problem is still there.

i let the truck sit for a whole day so i could test it out, fired up with in seconds, i was happy. i get in to it tonight and it took a little longer to start and i had a little puff of smoke. i was sure it was a leaky injector or regulator! this truck is just testing me too much. neither it or the bike will not be going up north now. i will just take over the payments on my sisters blazer and this POS can just rot in the driveway, i'm tired of throwing money in to it.

hate to hear it for ya buddy. what is your sister going to drive?? hope it isnt that nice new truck that you wanted to buy.

my sister bought an '06 trailblazer, so i'll just drive her old blazer until school starts up on the 29th, next month. then i'll be able to get the truck into the shop and test things out with the TECHII.

like i've mentioned earlier, it has always had a miss fire from cylinder 4 and 8 show up on the graph. not enough to throw a code, but i knew it had to be a fuel problem. i did a cylinder balance test on it back then, along with testing the injector flow and nothing was abnormal.

right now i'm second guessing my self and wondering if i have a loose connection at the fuel pump, causing the pressure to bleed off. i just don't feel like moving the bed to confirm my theory right now. i just need a break from this headache for awhile.

maybe it is time to get rid of it. maybe you can get enough for it to make a good downpayment or somewhere close to another late 90s pickup. believe i would have done that long ago.

i was going to pull the engine during the spring term, but health issues got in the way and i had to drop my classes. i just don't feel like dropping anymore money in to this truck now. i just want to find the problem, fix it and kick it to the curb for the next guy.
