    305 tbi starts , immediately stalls, runs good on 2nd start?

    SO I'm not prepared to lower the tank quite yet. If I did, given the age and rust i have to be prepared with likely a new tank, new straps, new hardware, new fuel lines as the fittings on top will probably self-destruct, and since I have it open, it would make sense to put a new fuel pump and...

    Yes you hit it right square.. So how does one 'flush' a tank?

    THinger2 your write up is great and I love to hear the history and what can be done with the 305!! Thanks for the encouragement. I can easily replace fuel filter but before I do a lot of testing it would seem logical to try to flush the tank. I can let all the gas drain out from the line...

    I've searched and have been tricked by those who say they work with obd1 but then they don't specify if they do live reading of sensor data

    305 tbi starts , immediately stalls, runs good on 2nd start?

    Hope the tranny guy will be sure that ground is good since he will be unhooking it and reattaching it again. Is there a list on the forum of ALDL or OBD1 scanners that do live data? I understand the old Red 2500 Snapon does? I thought the Innova 5512 did but once I bought it I found it only...

    305 tbi starts , immediately stalls, runs good on 2nd start?

    Your help is appreciated! I have the 3.73 gears so I guess there is an option to go to 4.11 but would have to find new setup for front and back and perhaps a whole front diff swap and a rear axle swap would be easier. But that can wait for now. The annoying thing with my 'electronic'...

    305 tbi starts , immediately stalls, runs good on 2nd start?

    Right now the first step is try to get back to feeling comfortable that it is running correctly. Then we decide if we want to put any more effort/money into boosting the performance. Not looking to roast the tires, just looking to be able to pull a light trailer at highway speeds without...

    Yes, that is the truck and I'm sure you are correct the heavy rims, wider tires and bigger offset taxes the motor pretty good. WE did sell those rims and now have lighter rims, still on a BF Goodrich KO2 305/55/20 (33") but on a narrow rim with no offset. It fits under the wheelwells again...

    305 tbi starts , immediately stalls, runs good on 2nd start?

    Yes, TBI and the fuel filter is new, but I know when we cut the old one out (cut it out due to corrosion so bad on the fittings) that pretty nasty rusty sludge came out of the old one. I have no idea condition of the inside of the tank or the age of the current fuel pump and sender. Judging...

    1995 silverado 305 4l60e 4x4 New fuel filter a month ago. I learned here I can't check fuel pressure without taking a line apart and install a T and gauge which I don't have. It was suggested here to try techron before getting injectors cleaned or new injectors as a general tune up...

    99 OBS Transfer Case Output Shaft O-Ring?

    What position does the hole in thr seal in the picture above get installed? At the top like a air vent hole or at the bottom for a fluid weep hole? YouTube says bottom, a mechanic I'm talking to said air vent and top. Mine is at bottom and slowly dripping. Just replaced the rear seal after...

    Brand new wrinkle today. Drove 15 miles this afternoon ran great. Parked 30 min. Hit starter and started quickly like normal but ran 2 3 seconds and abruptly quit. 2nd start starts normally idles normally and runs normally. Ran 20 miles, turned off 15 min. Hit starter and same quick start...

    4L60E Transmission struggling to shift into Overdrive?

    so did you get the transmission inspected? What was found? Did they rebuild it? I hope it is better now for you!

    Any way to enable control over the drive-overdrive shift point?

    I'm curious how to truly get 'cold' air into a 'cold air' intake. I can see the factory plumbing leads over to the passenger fender area but even the stock setup is not sticking into the fender area far enough to truly suck in only outside air. There is a fairly sizable gap into the engine bay...

    So it appears folks here are not fans of custom cold air intakes...
