Electric choke unplugged - 86 C10 Silverado
Okay, I can try looking at a local junk yard for that temperature switch. Just replace it with that NPT plug, and plug that wire into the switch. Should I notice any difference? That you for your help everyone! I will be making another post soon about all the vacuum lines, and see if i can get...- Sk8almost44

Electric choke unplugged - 86 C10 Silverado
Hey everyone, I'm finally following up with the fix. Found a loose blue wire (with a broken plastic fitter at the end) that comes from the engine oil pressure switch. I also adjusted my idle a little so it wouldn't die at every stop light. I found my solution from the thread below (I should...- Sk8almost44

Electric choke unplugged - 86 C10 Silverado
I will try that out. Cutting the zip tie from the choke and plugging it up to a 12v did not solve the hard start issue. And when I do get it started, the idle is very high! And once I change gears from N to D, the RPMs are very high. Then I turn it off after a 10 min drive, the RPMs are back to...- Sk8almost44

Electric choke unplugged - 86 C10 Silverado
Hello, so I noticed a lot of open plugs and vacuums and plugged them all up. At the same time I snipped the zip cable off the choke and connected it. The idle is very low. So low, it dies at every stop light. Any suggestions? I can post pics of everything I plugged up and connected, or just...- Sk8almost44

12v or less? I'm testing wires near the choke and one is reading .4 volts at most.- Sk8almost44

Electric choke unplugged - 86 C10 Silverado
Hello everyone. So since I bought the truck, it's been a hard starter. Popped the hood and noticed the choke is not plugged in. What wire would connect to it, I have many disconnected wires throughout the engine bay. Thank you for your assistance.- Sk8almost44

Loose Oil Filler neck 86 C10 Silverado
I removed the air filter to access the bolt holding down the loose oil filler. That part number was too fat, and too small. I'm going to take the old one to the part store and find the right one. For now, I was able to just screw the oil cap right in the hole no problem. I decided to do my...- Sk8almost44

Loose Oil Filler neck 86 C10 Silverado
Thank you! How do I replace the grommet, do I just pull the tube out, twist it out, or take the whole valve cover off? Thank you!- Sk8almost44

Hello! I recently purchased a '86 Chevy C10 Silverado, and I noticed immediately there is burning oil on one of the valve covers. There is a tube come out of the valve cover, that is very loose and oil is able to come out of it. I believe it is the oil fill neck? Anyways, there looks like a seal...- Sk8almost44
