ALSO HAVING STARTING TROUBLE

[CAROLINACRAZY]

I saw the post were 99BLKLITNG was having trouble getting his truck started. Mine has been doing the same thing in the morning when I first try to start the truck it will start like it is real bad flooded i have to keep tapping the gas several times to keep it running and even then it will cut off about 2 or 3 times after that it will run fine. I thought it must have been a problem with just my truck so I was going to take it to my local dealer to have it checked out but the service manager who is a friend of mine said i would need to take off my engine mods before having it checked out MAN THAT WOULD BE A PAIN. If anyone knows anything about this problem or what i can do please let me know i will be thankful.:fm:

Carolina:

How long has your fuel filter been in service--could be partially clogged?

Check your throttle plates for carbon/gunk--3M makes a teflon-friendly spray cleaner that can used up-side down.

Check your IAC(idle air control), a shiny, aluminum 'can'(about the size of a V8 juice can) bolted to the intake plenum on the passenger side. Take it off and try and clean the 'valve' inside the IAC. Cleaning doesn't always help--you may have to replace it?

Good luck,

Dan

Mine did that last year, tirned out to be the Idle air control valve was sticking. Take it to the dealer. They have a fix.

I haven't had any problems since then.
