    Another distributor replacement

    I am about to put in my 3rd distributor and button since december of 2017. I also put a set in last July. What could be the root cause of this recurring issue? It started running very rough today and throwing a code p0300. The last time it got to the point it wouldn't start. Cam sensor? Rotor...

    Cutting out

    I am going to check the coil , I probably should have already, but I am about to possibly replace the fuel pump because the gas hand quit working last year and I wondered if I might have a ground strap issue somewhere.

    Low torque shudder

    So , a couple of weeks ago in the middle of a monsoon I was driving and when I shifted in to overdrive my tahoe started shuddering /lagging. I gave it a little gas and when I got my rpms up it went away til I got behind a car going up a steep incline when it started again. Got in it a few...

    misfire on #3

    In the course of tuning up my truck I pulled out what appeared to be the original distributor. When I replaced it the problem finally revealed it's source. It appears to have been a bad valve spring or valve. The result was not pretty. So rather than redo the heads and stick them on top of a...

    So I have been getting this message -p0303- misfire on cylinder 3. So I changed out the plugs, plug wires,distributor,and button. It returned a few days later. Funny thing is it only shows up going uphill at about 50 70 mph and on a long grade. It doesn't seem to be the angle so much as the...
