Chevrolet Repair: 1987 chevy silverado 5.7 throttle body injection, vacum leaks, chevy silverado
Questioni have a 87 chevy with a new 5.7 ( only about 20k miles) seems to run ok...but when i 1st start it in the morning it runs really rough ...and after its warmed up its better except it seems to cut out when sitting at a lite...almost seems like someone jogs in ignition key...it doesnt stall...but a few times i really thought i was bumped from behind? plugs wires cap and the common items are all new....where do i start? i dont want to replace everything, thanks joe
AnswerHi Joe.... it could be one of several things....check for vacum leaks, cracked or collasping hoses, check around the throttle body...check ign module...check coil...check for bad fuel pump or fuel pump relay...check grounds, check all connections for corrosion, bent connectors...check with a scan tool for any codes...check any power wires that may be frayed and touching ground... check main power wire at the starter...i know it isn't much but i hope i pointed you in the right direction....
