I had a Flowmaster system on a Corvette and it was pretty quiet but beautiful rumble at idle and awesome sound with just enough roar but no drone cruising at highway speeds. On throttle it sounded so beautiful! I had a high end stereo system put in that Corvette but I rarely listen to it because the engine sounded so good lol!

lol I swear… this truck… I had started it at least 3-4 times in the last week with no issues… let it idle about a minute each time to check for leaks… started it today and drove down the street for the first time… seemed to be running well.. about a mile down the road started to be a bit rough… came to a light and the idle was erratic.. stumbling, couldn’t get it to idle… then it died… starts up again but rough idle

Few thoughts come to mind; #1 gas in it has been sitting for 14 months.. the sloshing around might have sent debris or whatever into the fuel filter (I forgot to change the filter)..

Thought 2; might be MAF related once it went into closed loop, the MAF might have been compromised from sitting and occasionally sat in open air.. I did clean it with CRC MAF cleaner and let it dry about a week ago.. MAF might be bad
Thoughts?

Changed the cam position sensor in the distributor…. Cleared the code, started up just fine… let it idle for about 2-3 minutes, seems just fine… go to back out the drive and the stumble starts… gets rougher.., shut it down and restart and it’s still rough.. CEL sets, check it.. same code P0341…

Might get some more targeted responses if you post in the Engine & Drivetrain section.

Update: all I/M went into ready mode, got the emissions passed, registered today. It’s been a long road, but she’s road worthy now.

Still a few things to fix, like door pins, paint, get the 4:56’s installed, and some body adjustments to a few panels

Thank you to all those who followed this thread and offered insight and knowledge
