HELP....Any auto mechanics here ?

[RTR]

Have you used anything to check for vacuum leaks around the engine bay? I would suggest doing that to see if that may be the culprit

Thanks......Not yet its been raining & nasty here.

Haha alright. Yeah check that first it’s always the cheapest route

This was almost the best thread I ever read. I have a 98 Silverado with a 350 5.7l that has been driving me nucking futz the past two weeks. I even went as far as taking the bed off to check the fuel pump for cracks. I just changed the air filter and cleaned the MAF. Straightened the thing right out. Many thanks and kudos to all the knowlege.

Take it to your favorite mechanic and go detecting. You deserve it!

Finally It stopped raining long enough to work on it.Removed & cleaned the MAF.Had some dirt/junk on the screen and the posts.The 3 MAF sensor hot wires had some junk also... Now all are as clean as new.Also cleaned the throttle body while I was at it.Outside temp is now 62 degrees.So if this didn't fix the problem I wont know until it gets colder.........Thanks for all the help guys.

Very nice! One more word of advice... Don't show any excitement around the truck or the problem surely will come back!
