hello new here got some question can u all please help
Heres my problem I have 1997 chevy blazer with a w code 4.3 it sputters at 1500 to 2500 rpm I've replaced fuel pump fuel filter plugs wires cap rotor tps maf all acdelco I'm at my and with it the only thing I haven't done is replace my cat I've had my laptop hooked to it so i could read the codes but they're were none the gas mixture is alittle lean its like 40 to 60 and that's at running temp 210 degrees but I don't think that will cause it to spit sputter so I'm hoping you guys will help me thanks
Look.. I've been working on cars 50 years and on EFI for over 20. All in Driveway but I know Probst pretty much forward and backward.
Frankly I tend to do the same as you did. It's beyond that, isnt it?
I'd be glad to help but first we have to establish performance baselines and you might have to supply answers you think are settled.
One of the questions was what MAP read at warm idle.
And need to know if it's rpm or load@rpm related
And another weird request is when you get car warm, shut it off, disconnect MAF and drive it.
Otherwise, some other things to look at. Pull and clean the EGR. Take off dist cap and look for signs of abnormal wear/scraping from rotor; wiggle and twist rotor checking for side slop / gear wear
Does the normal ECT temp {on scan} run 210 at idle & cruise? That is a TAD high. Should be 195-200
