have been trying to get this hooked up for 2 hours! is there some seceret!? took forever last time too but I had my husband switch off trying....im so mad

 

Do you have the bracket on the lines bolted down to the lower intake? If you do, try loosening or removing the bolt so you can move things around a bit. I have had a heck of a time getting them back together on a few occasions.

 

so. I finished and its still sputtering....that wasn't it.

 

if you look at the side of the injector body it is numbered for which cylinder the injectors go, and if you clean the intake manifold near the holes they are also numbered, just match them up.

 

they are matched up.......its not the injector.....gotta be something else

 

check fuel pressure, try to clean the mass air flow sensor. any trouble codes stored?

 

already cleaned the MAF, cant get any cleaner.....its a 0300 code....comes and goes....changed oil filter, fuel filter.....next options are cap and rotor, spark plugs and wires, maybe the 02 sensor?

anything before tackling the fuel pump!

 

A misfire code. hmm...
It wouldn't hurt doing the cap,rotor, plugs and wires.

 

so I got ACDELCO spark plugs but they did not have that brand in the wires...so I have not gotten them yet....will it make any differance?
Also is the Duralast brand for the cap and rotor the one that I have heard is no good?

OOHHHH AND now when I turn the key (before turning the truck all the way on) my milage says 888888888.8trip then shows the milage...whats up with that?

there is a creaking almost fan spinning noise coming from the dash and slowly comes to a stop when turning the truck off.

ANOTHER THING I have been meaning to talk about is the low metalic ding that happens sometimes about 2 mins after starting the engine....also after I turn it off about 2-5 mins later the ding again....any one know what the hell that is? I imagine like when you put a cheap pan in the oven and it tweeks and pops.....then when it cools it settles back, just what comes to mind when I hear this. ANY IDEAS?

 

I don't know about the cap since I only use GM parts since I work for a GM dealership. The display could be signs of a cluster going bad I think. Is the fan type noise coming from the right or left side of the dash? and the last noise sounds like your exhaust system makes noise as the metal expands and contracts with the heat.
