    Rough Idle, dies on occasion

    After a few weeks of off again-on again running well i finally got a chance to work on the rig, got some new plugs (AC Delco r45ts, these were recommended for the GM Goodwrench crate engine that's currently in the truck), the plugs that came out were r44t's (not sure if there is a huge...

    Rough Idle, dies on occasion

    The disconnecting the TCC seemed to help a little bit. But not fully. I cleaned up the carb and changed out my fuel filter and that helped a bit too. My next step is going to be replacing the plugs with ac delco plugs and cleaning the terminals on the distributer. I should probably verify my...

    I'll google some pictures and see what I can find. And double check all vacuum hoses. By stay out of overdrive do you mean drive with the gear selector in the next lowest setting? Or do you mean stay under speeds that the torque converter would normally lock up?

    Got it disconnected at the transmission and it seems to have helped. Is it safe to drive it with that disconnected for a while to either confirm or deny that is the problem?

    Rough Idle, dies on occasion

    It has had a tune up, about 10,000 ago. Tranny and torque converter are pretty new too, is there any way to farther diagnose the TC? Or a way to check and see if it's locking/unlocking properly? My initial thoughts were maybe a miss too. This weekend I was going to pull the plugs and...

    i have an issue that is fairly new with my chevy. recently the idle has been very rough, to the point it feels like a vibrating chair when in drive and at a stoplight, however, in park it feels normal. from time to time the truck will die when im at a stoplight and go to take off (normal...
