Hello all.
I am attempting to troubleshoot my wife's 05 Tahoe from Afghanistan while the mechanic can't figure it out.
So it has a loss of power at highway speed, uneven acceleration, an occasional miss, and sometimes balks when taking off from a start.
The problem does not always present, and it's not throwing any codes. The mechanic says he has ruled out just about everything other then maybe a knock sensor or something internally. He's waiting to see if it's the knock sensor, and if not wants to tear into the engine if that's what I want.
Has about 170,000 miles and for the last 15,000 had been doing a lot of heavy towing. Always well maintained. Rebuilt transmission 15,000 miles ago. Problem has just started in the last month.
I guess my question is if the knock sensor could be faulty and still not throw a code, and retard the timing and cause that power loss and the miss. He thinks so even though there's no code.
Sorry for the lengthy post. Thanks for any advice.
