Hey wanted to say thanks for these 2 videos, my son was given a 94 Chevy ASTRO 4.3. Sumbuck has misfire. The info you shared on that egr is priceless. I realize his and your 4.3 are different but still the info is goona help. Merry Christmas its September 😅
Your experience along with your advice will hopefully help me tomorrow my 2002 chev silverado 4.3 it all of a sudden has multiple misfires and is running like crap cold or hot...its like it has a bad miss and backfires...so I am going to start with plugs, wires, and clean the MAF and get a Accel distributor cap...one at a time and check/start the truck in between each to see if that's it..but the comment on the distributor sensor has me wondering if I should start there....I guess I will find out...
On the door hindges I took some sheetmetal same thickness filled in the hole welded triangle plates top in bottom to add thickness and drilled slight over size and sleeveved the hole back to factory specs. Has never had any issues since
@8:20 - Door Hinge Repair. My Dad took everything out. He went to home depot and got some nuts and bolts. He put it all together with just nuts and bolts. It doesn't swing like it should but it will work just like a house door. *NOTE:* Don't forget, once you do this, it's like a house door. Don't open wide on the street or on high way, it will swing out full open if there's wind, etc...
I’m using the 5 inch bolts and washers and my doors work as they should, did you put the bolts the same way the pins went? Top pin goes up and bottom goes down, if done that way it should open and close just like the factory pins. BTW, you can also order titanium pins and bushings but they are $100 bucks per door, I refuse to pay that lol
@@jamiel3504 - As I recall, there is a stopper in the door itself, to prevent the door open too wide, etc.... My Dad decided to take it all out because it's all worn, that is why it behaves like a house door. LOL
I have a 03 astro 4.3 Once a year I replace the distributor cap & rotor. And keep a cheap spare set in my van. Tried everything.. vent screens in and out, new distributor.. sealed around cap, dielectric grease inside etc.. nothing helped. I use the $60 Mallory or accell cap with $20 rotor. This cap has copper contacts. Seems to last longer
Great video. I’m having the same issue with my 2000 Blazer. ******Any Help will be appreciated *******At Cold, I would get a P0785, 3/2 down shift solenoid code. I’ve changed the solenoid in the transmission but still get this code at cold start. After it reaches operational temperature I could clear it and it’ll stay off. Also. Random misfire while engine is running. Sometimes it’s cylinder 1 code, sometimes Cylinder 4. But replaced the distributor cap and still get codes for it. Abs and Brake on dash comes on if rolling forward but not if I go in reverse. I’m hoping that’s just a speed sensor I’ll replace that when I do the front end suspension. My main concern is why I get P0785 at cold and it goes away after the temperature of the engine reaches operational temp.
I was watching your videos I’m having issues with 2000 chevy s10 I charged plugs and wires and distributor cap and rotors and still have a misfire and it going through gas like crazy and running rough
Yes i replaced the plugs+ wires Distributor Cap and Rotor used engine restorer light went out long enough to get an inspection but been on for a year now maybe 2
On my 2000 express 4.3 the distributor sensor was intermittent and replacing it fixed the problem. 35.00 after i replaced the EGR Plugs Wires Cap. Just saying its worth changing before the cost gets away from you.
Great video!! Those door bushings are absolute garbage and won’t hold up, they sell titanium pins and bushings but I refuse to pay $100 bucks a pair lol, so I simply used 5 inch bolts and washers, $4 bucks if I’m not mistaken and they’ll last forever.👍
I have some videos on my page to my 93 chevy 4.3l 4x4. I have no clue what is wrong. Any input would help I can post more. But it's hard to start missing is what it sounds like I put it in gear an it almost kills it.
What were the symptoms your vehicle had? My friend has a 97 C1500 WT that sputters and jerks under normal acceleration (cold), Give it more gas and it smooths out. I know a limited amount of info about the trucks maintenance.
The GM distributor is a plastic piece of shit. The shaft wobbles and throws the dreaded P0300 code. The MSD replacement is the best option. It has an aluminum housing.

The grommets are called "bushings" check your pins also, they will get wear rings where they make contact with worn bushings.
Yeah, they are total garbage, I used 5 inch bolts and washers, no door sagging whatsoever. It really works well and will never have to replace
Good job on the misfiring 👍👍👍

I believe the cams flat in a 94 4.3 I been working on. Pops back through the throttle body constantly when it's revved. Won't idle,etc.
The stock distributor for for my 4.3 was trash.I bought the after market distributor made out of Alum. Not plastic like the factory one.
Me too, it solved alot of issues

Wait 2 seconds is this a van or truck gmc made a version of the sonoma that was called the xpress its a rare af
@@timetotalk8275 van.
I am curious when the sensor was intermittent was the engine missing or showing code p0300 for multiple misfires?
@@georgewashington522 sometimes it doesn’t even set a code because it is intermittent

Use a.c Delco cap and rotor button fixed my problems
I think you have your loops backwards I'm pretty sure at start up and wide open throttle is open loop then then its warmed up it goes into closed loop
Thanks Kenny Powers,.

my bushings are worn out i replaced the m but the spring keeps getting sprung any ideas on why
I had to replace the door checks in mine, both sides messed up, new ones are designed differently
Ty for video
I'm about to pull my hair out. Ranger keeps misfiring and I'm spending a small fortune (all I got) trying to figure the damn thing out.
Vehicles start off cold in open loop then warm up o2 and go into closed loop I’m sure you know that and just miss spoke.
But It still a great video thanks
Better check your brake lined
What the hell is a hollofect?

How do you test for verbal diarrhea?
I think you did like hearing yourself talk god damn door hinges to God damn thing to do with a misfire
STOP CALLING THE GOT SPAM TRUCK A CAR MAN. PLEASE!!!
My 99 blazer 4.3 is miss firing on 4 and 5 cylinder. What could it be. The cap
