Hi guys my Tahoe only blows air from the defrost vents. It doesn't seem to blow Hot nor Cold air, just air. None of the selector positions (Floor..Mid-Level, or Top) seem to be working.
Any help diagnosing my problem will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Yes I "do" have the bolts with the knurled ends... I was wondering what that was all about... Thanks for bringing it up
What are the "flywheel tools" for situations like this?? One mechanic suggested that I turn the flywheel with a "big screwdriver" inserted between the teeth?? I thought...
Yea Sunlitcomet, you have a point there.
I wonder what would have caused the starter to chew up the flywheel like that in the 1st place?
My logic would say that the teeth on the solenoid should be made of a softer metal than the teeth on the flywheel to prevent failures like this.
It's...
Thanks for your replies guys
The thought of replacing the flywheel just because it's missing 4-5 teeth isn't comforting. Eventually I'm sure I'll have to do it but now is the worst time for me to undertake a job like that. This weekend would be much better.
Isn't it possible to turn the...
I thought I had a starter or solenoid problem when my Tahoe wouldn't start.
I got a tow home and when I took the starter off, I noticed that about 4-5 teeth were missing from the flywheel. I tested the starter and the solenoid kicked out and turned just like it should.
When I initially had...
I feel totally stupid.... not for making a simple mistake but for "somehow overlooking" it when the problems started showing up.
For the sake of anyone as silly as myself "sometimes"... I FOUND the problem!
I switched two of the spark wires when I initially took the distributor cap off! I...
I'm inclined to agree with you on all points... Thanks for your input. I'll have some time to look things over more tomorrow evening and should have something to add late Sun
Friggin P0300 code resurfaced again a couple days ago ... I'm going to close out this thread and open one solely for the P0300 error, as it has nothing to do with spark plug gap.
The 02 error has NOT returned... :) I guess I do have "something" to be happy about.
On 2nd thought... you guys...
Thx Steamroller.... I've found some decent sounding data for STFT and LTFT... Let me know what you think...

Strangely enough my MAP readings are at around 9.7 at idle and at different RPMs?? Are you sure about the MAP fluctuations?
Here is some freeze frame data associated with the P0300 error code

After pulling some "Live Data" yesterday, it sure would be good to have some information on the relationship between things like
SHRTFT %, LONGFT %, ... SHRTFTB1 % etc
I know that these are "Short\Long Term Fuel Trim designations but what I don't know is ...what the relationship is between...
correct Instant, everything was fine meaning that I didn't have the rough idle that I currently have.
After looking for vacuum leaks (and not finding any) I DID notice what sounds like an exhaust leak coming from the area under the drivers side exhaust pipes. I'll check more and tighten the...
Well I regapped the plugs to .040 and the SEL came on within 3-4 minutes. I figured that I would go over everything I did because it's likely I caused the problem since the SEL light wasn't there before.
Since I had to remove the Dist and Rotor, I figured that I may as well replace them while I...
Thanks DblTap, I was considering that too and the strange thing is.... There was some liquid gasket material around the Air Filter housing. I thought it strange to have it there but maybe I'll reseal it if I don't find any vacuum leaks anywhere else.
I may have to go out and buy myself...
Strangest thing happened when I went to do my 1st tune-up on my 1998 Tahoe. I have the 4WD and the engine is a 5.7L
I wanted to clean off the carbon deposits on the plugs, cap and rotor. The strange thing is .. The existing NGK R spark plugs were all gapped at .035, an the sticker on the...
