the injectors are fired thru the engine cotrol module but it gets its signal to fire from the pick-up located inside the distributor if you are loosing injector pulse only the ignition module is bad if you are also loosing spark when you loose injector pulse your pick up is causing the problem if you replace the pick-up i recomend you change the ignition module when doing so because they work together and you have to remove the distributor to change the pick-up

Bad crankshaft sensor on a 1994 GMC k1500 5.7L TBI Auto?

'94 GMC Z71 4x4 automatic
5.7L TBI
57K actual miles on the truck.
New spark plugs 3 mos ago.
Check engine code: 12 -- O2 sensor reading lean condition

I get an intermittent 'bouncing/flutttering' of the Tach at about 2400-2900rpm. It feels like a cylinder dropping out, but not completely. I have had a plug wire come loose and it doesn't feel like that. It's more subtle. Shortly thereafter the check engine light comes on. Keep driving and it goes back off, tach bouncing stops. There is a noticable loss of power as I cannot maintain my normal speed while towing. (65mph) Outside temp does not seem to affect it. (Phoenix, AZ) Alternator voltage, Engine temps all normal.

I am suspecting a failing crankshaft sensor, O2 Sensor, or both. I am changing out the rotor,cap & plug wires because they are due, but I doubt this will fix it.

Point me in the right direction. If you need more detail, email me. Please don't reply with a vague, wide sweeping suggestion.

if your o2 sensor is reading too lean then you have a vacume leak spray brake cleaner on all your vacume hoses one at a time if nothing then spray it around your intake manifold gasket they are usually the culprit

Answer

  • Most Helpful of 2 Answers

Inspect/Replace If it is necessary to remove the heater assembly, the cooling system must be drained before removing the heater core.
When a heater core leaks, a new heater core is installed or the old one repaired.
Heater Housing

  • The heater housing is usually under the dash and must be removed to gain access to the heater core.
  • Procedures for replacing the heater core vary with the year, make, and model of car. It threfore necessary to consult the manufacturer's repair manuals for the proper procedure for replacement.
f74-01.gif The heater housing is disassembled to get to the heater core. Heater Core
  • Remove the access panels(s) or the split heater/air conditioning case to gain acess to the heater core.
  • Remove the heater coolant hoses.
  • Remove the cable and/or vacuum control lines (if equipped).
  • Remove the heater core securing brackets and/or clamps.
  • Lift the core from the case. Do not use force. Take care not to damage the fins of the heater core when removing.
  • To reinstall the heater core, reverse the removal steps.
When the heater core leaks and must be repaired or replaced, it is a very difficult and time-consuming job primarily because of the core's location deep within the firewall of the car. For this reason always leak test a replacement heater core before installation.

I got a 1994 GMC Sierra it reads a Code 32 can't find out how to solve?

Posted by on

Answer

  • Most Helpful of 3 Answers

OBD1 fault Code 32 means that the EGR valve is either not working or the gas passages in the intake that deliver the exhaust gases from the EGR are plugged with carbon and sludge, this is one of the most common causes of a GM OBD1 fault code 32. Remove the EGR and see if you can blow compressed air through the gas passages under the valve, I will bet one of the two or both are plugged up.

2002 3500 GMC Savana 5.7 how do I set the timing?

Answer

You can\'t. GM did away with timing light based ignition timing on the vortec engine family. You can adjust the distributor, but it adjusts something called Camshaft Retard Offset, and can only be read using a scan tool. The only reason you would need to check the camshaft retard offset is if you removed the distributor or intake manifold and accidentally got the distributor off a tooth or two.
