So before I put of your to much more of a fight I was looking for some suggestions on to make that back bolt a...

    Replacing the alternator has definitely helped. It seems to be running smoother and idling better and starting issue has improved for sure. There is still some issues on the start but it less frequent and not as often. So I think I’m going to go ahead replace the ground strap and battery cables...

    Update: I popped the alternator off and took it to get it tested, and it failed. I bought a knew one and slapped it on there and cleared the codes. So far I noticed it is idling better and haven’t had a starting issue yet, with that being said I only put it in a few hours ago so time will tell...

    So, I haven’t had time to do to much to the Tahoe, however I did clean the MAF sensor and it didn’t seem to help anything. Anyways this is my wife’s vehicle, she said if she hits the gas pedal during the time the issue starts happening it fires up. I haven’t had it happen to me and see how it...

    @swathdiver I’m not sure what the numbers are, I’ll try to get those soon. @OR VietVet that might be the case it definitely is weird. And i just check the battery it’s around 4.5 years old so I guess it’s getting close to the end on that but still holds good charge and tested fine. And I...

    Honesty the pressure in the gas tank was just a shot in the dark, it was the only thing that made sense of installing the new fuel pump assembly and only fixing the issue for a few days. I thought maybe it was slowly building pressure over a few days to cause the same issue when I started. And...

    I’ll haven’t checked MAF readings or clean that’s or the TB I’ll try that and see if it helps. It has 96k miles on it and I haven’t changed the cats since I have owned it. So I’m doubting that they have been changed. And as much as I wish the FPR was on the fuel rail on the Tahoe it isn’t. That...

    Hey, I’m new here and looking for some ideas. I have a 2008 Tahoe 5.3 with 96k miles and I’m having some starting issues. It seems like it starts acting up when it is heat soaked but even then it doesn’t do it all the time. When I go to start the vehicle it like misfires for a second or so then...
