    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?

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

    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...

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

    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...

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

    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...

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

    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...

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

    yes, working on it. I can't make out the name on the 'turbo swirly thing' in the picture to google that. is it 'Kiraid'?

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

    I think I can glimpse what they might call 'shorty headers' on the driver side where the manifold would be?

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

    I'm going to show my ignorance but is a 383 a bigger small block engine size option? I'm thinking the work of replacing front and rear axle (sourcing the axle, probably used with the proper gears) and installing might be about as much work as getting the motor swapped? I have the 3.73 gears...

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

    Yes, weighing options on a 350 swap. Not sure which shop nearby could do it and do it correctly. AT the same time it would make sense to either swap the transmission or have transmission rebuilt while it is out. Since (i'm learning) the 1995 year is a special year, I would prefer to find a...

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

    I'm trying to get used to my shift points and understand how to deal with the odd situation where after 3rd gear there is what seems to be a two gear in one option called drive/overdrive? There is a D with a block O for overdrive around it on the shifter dial. When pulling a light trailer on...

    A/c compressor leak?

    Can you suggest where the typical leaks are found (mine is 1995)? and a better black light? I'm using a large blacklight mounted in a fluorescent tube like setting but the picture above shows a great UV GLOW going on! My system lasts 3-4 weeks after a charge. It is cool so don't run the AC...

    Water pump and thermostat

    Returning to report success with the water pump install and thank you for your help. I did require the CCW rotation pump. Thanks to some youtube advice I was ready for the challenging parts. Getting the factor bung out of the top hole proved very difficulty. Since this is a temporary plug I...

    305 tbi to 350 tbi swap

    willy, if you are still checking messages, and if you did the swap can you update us with how it went and if it was worth the effort and cost to gain what you were looking to gain? Thanks

    Water pump and thermostat

    mbowman suggest I take my thermostat out, close the housing back up, run the engine to dislodge all the junk. I assume I'm doing this while having a drain open somewhere and adding fluid at the same time? It would seem to make more sense to do that with the current 'old' water pump in place yet...

    Water pump and thermostat

    Quick followup question. I have a 1995 Chevy 305 with gasket visibly sliding out from behind the water pump and a slow weep. I'm reading about several brands here but can't find online or local parts store. The AC-Delco lists a clockwise (251-725 which does not seem like a true AC-Delco part...
