    What have you done to your square lately??

    I replaced the EGR valve. It didn't hurt putting on a new one. After all electronic plugs that I moved for room to remove the valve were replaced I fired it up and took it on a test drive. The drive was positive. Uphill, downhill, slow, or fast no stumbles, except for one on a 10 minute trip...

    @Ricko1966 I appreciate your feedback but please realize I do not know exactly what I am doing here. I am learning as I go and have the service manuals as well. We did not have a specific goal today, we just wanted to see what we could find out.

    I do not want to delete the EGR. I may replace it is all I am saying. The evap canister is what I believe may have been deleted.

    Drove over to my uncle in laws to trouble shoot with a mechanically inclined partner. Please GMSB keep in mind I don't know as much as I want to about this truck and it's TBI system as I want to, and my uncle in law doesn't either. When I got there we tested the battery in DC and it tested...

    I am further educating myself on the digital multimeter. Obviously something has been lost in translation via text here. I have read and re-read these posts several times and will come back when proper technique is executed.

    My son and his teammate wanted to shoot hoops in the driveway before their game in an hour, So my wife and I moved cars. While I was in the truck I took it around the neighborhood and just like this morning, a good solid drive, no rough riding. I'll take it for now and will post flashlight lit...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It occurred to me to disconnect the negative cable for 5 minutes. I reconnected it and the truck cranked up and stayed on.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Quick research turns up that removing the positive cable may have reset the ECM, or worse, or maybe not at all. I saw multiple explanations saying both and/or maybe... Did I just kill all the electronics in my truck?
