When it gets cold outside how come my 1999 Chevy Tahoe with a 5.7 vortec don't want to start It cranks for a long time before it will start and once you get it started it runs great?

I had the same problem with my 99 2 door 4x4 Tahoe and couldn't figure it out. I had replaced the fuel pump when it went out months before. Turns out that aftermarket fuel pumps are not a good Idea. After going back to a genuine GM fuel pump, I had no more pump noise and start up is instant and purs like a kitten.

How much horsepower did a stock 1995 Chevy 2500 7.4 engine put out?
Probably about 240 or close. Move to a 96 and it's a lot more. The Vortec started in 96 with the 350 (5.7) and 454 (7.4). I understand the Vortec 5.7 had a little more power than the non-Vortec 7.4, and the Vortec 5.7 has 250 horsepower.
Where is the maf sensor located on a 1995 Chevrolet Blazer with a vortec engine?
Apparently, there is none. They started using them in 1996.
You put a 350 vortec out of a Tahoe in your 91 silverado and made it carb but it keeps dying why?
Because a true 350 vortec I think relies on the vortec intake in order for the pressure to stay correct. I just remember i had my vortec box off of my truck one time I started it and It died just put the old vortec air intake back on and it should be fine. sounds like you have vacumn leaks around the intake manifold, this can be checked with a can of carb spray,
Does a 2002 astro van have a vortec 4.3 or non vortec 4.3?

Regardless of the block, you have to use Vortec heads to use a Vortec intake.

95 Chevy Cheyenne but the valve covers say vortec on them. thought vortec didnt come out till 96. is it a true vortec then?
"Vortec did not come out until 96, yours was probably built late in the model year when they started changing the production line over. Unless you have fuel injection, the 95 uses a throttle body, similar to a csrb." Not entirely correct. Vortec came out in 1986 not 1996. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Vortec_engine Vortec is a trademarked name for a line of piston engines for General Motors trucks. The name first appeared in 1986 on a 4.3 L V6.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Vortec_engine
