Well, I've driven the truck around town a bit after I got done working today, and it's still doing it.

Guess I'll be cleaning the MAF and changing the plugs tomorrow.

I have this issue too sometimes....mostly though, while at the gas station, mine tries to start...turns over, then bogs out and dies...it does this once in a great while ...it takes about 2-3 times of starting for it to catch...very odd...


runs fine though...

MAF sensor and throttle body are dirty...

Did the TB 2 months back.

I did install a K&N intake about 5 months ago though....I guess it's about time for the MAF to start acting up...

yea give both of them a clean and a run through. The K&N with its "Oil" filter sucks. I just cleaned my girlfriends 05 grand prix that had a K&N on it, i took that ***** out and put it up for sale. lol I put a new filter in and cleaned MAF and the throttle body, it started right up and ran sweet. (she had the same problem as Blizzard)

Don't go below a 1/4 tank to preserve fuel pump life.

can this be y i can be park level an i have 1/4 tank an it wont start

no, that has nothing to do with anything.. He means keeping more the 1/4 tank of gas in your truck cools the fuel pump and keeps it from getting hot. "preserving"

SO...I've removed the MAF sensor 3 days ago, and hosed it down with MAF cleaner.

No dice, still long cranking time before it starts. It only seems to get worse over time.

Is there a way I can test the MAF? to see if it's the problem? I'm not getting any codes.

I tell ya, fuel pump.

 

[AtomicHoe094]

did you clean the throttle body?? Also was this ever doing it before the K&N filter?

Hmm fuel pump possibly. what kind of plugs did you get?
