HELP ME!!!
To be honest I want to get back into a German vehicle.... Spoke to a mechanic today and told him everything I did. He said possible torque converter issue but he’d need to drive it to see what it’s doing. I’m dropping it off next week- theprovider

HELP ME!!!
I didn’t use AC Delco knock sensors but I really don’t think that’s my issue. The CEL and knock sensor code has only popped up over the last few months. The truck has always had the stumble/hesitation since I bought it and it wasnt setting off the CEL. The issue has progressively gotten worse...- theprovider

HELP ME!!!
I believe so. There’s a screen when I pull the filter off. I replaced the FPR tonight with an AC Delco one....yaaaa $100 flying out of my wallet! Didn’t fix the issue, however. The fuel pressure is now reading 50 psi on my gauge and I noticed while driving the PSI would jump to 60 psi during...- theprovider

Yes they were Dormans. I did not buy extras haha the white one was not leaking on mine so I kept it and just replaced it since I had to pull it off to get the black one off. They’re cheap enough...- theprovider

Should I replace fuel pump pro-actively?
I drove my old Sierra (160k Miles) back and forth to Tampa from Houston 3 times in 2 years. Never skipped a beat. Loved taking it over The wife’s car because of the room and how smooth it was on the highway.....then I lifted it and put big tires on it and she didn’t enjoy the ride so much...- theprovider

HELP ME!!!
Whoa. Awesome! Thank you!! I looked for the EGR after work. I definitely do not have one. FPR will be my next replacement. I also want to put a stock air intake back on. I’ve never really been a fan of these CAI. After the FPR if that doesn’t fix it I might take it to a shop.....super...- theprovider

Yeah I have a certified gauge at work. We use it to check the pressure gauges on our filling rigs. I manage a precision calibration gas plant.- theprovider

HELP ME!!!
I don’t think I have an EGR. What the scan tool pick info from the ECU about that? It’s X out on my scan tool like the ECU can’t see it or I don’t have one.- theprovider

HELP ME!!!
Fuel filter was the very first thing I did before anything else. It holds at 42 psi. Do you mean does it hold after I turn the truck on then off? When I first turned the key on (engine off) the PSI went to 50 then slowly dropped to 42. I think I’m gonna replace the FPR just for ***** and...- theprovider

HELP ME!!!
I’m leaning towards pump or dirty screen on the pump. It drives a lot worse with a full tank of gas I noticed. Also I pulled the vac line off the FPR and the gauge spiked. I read that was a good sign and the FPR is doing it’s job. It looks Pretty new and so does the vac line- theprovider

HELP ME!!!
So I got a longer hose to test while driving. Around the 34 Mark is when it starts doing it. You can see the needle on the gauge kind of bounce around. I was actually accelerating up a bridge when it started. I did notice that after the tank was filled (89) it stumbled and hesitated a lot more...- theprovider
