Chevrolet Repair: Engine running lean, throttle position sensor, vacuum lines
QuestionI have a 1991 S-10 with a 2.5 liter engine.It is running lean,the check engine light code tells me that too.I tried injector cleaner and a new throttle position sensor but neither one helped.I have checked the vacuum lines and replaced a couple of questionable ones.I plugged off the line to the EGR valve and it made a big difference.
While checking the wiring connections I noticed that the ECM is a factory reconditioned one.
Any suggestions on what else to try? Any help would be appreciated,Thanks,Rod
AnswerHi Rod, Two things that come to mind. The 02 sensor, it could be sending a bad reading to the ecm. Try disconnecting it to see if it runs better, if so replace it. The fuel injector, I have only seen a couple do this but they can make it run lean by not spraying enough fuel. You can only replace this part,cleaning doesn't work.
Hope this helps
Have a Nice Day Mark
