Intermittent misses at idle and at cruise speed?
If it has a computer, use a code scanner to read the diagnostic codes. If it doesn't, check the distributor and rotor for damage and wear. Distributor and rotor o.k., scanner reads 212 ( ignition module / shorting bar ). Cannot get koer to scan, not enough rpm change. any more ideas. joedi Found the problem, the fuel filter was clogged. Runs better now. joedi
1999 Chevy Tahoe 5.7 engine ignition timing at 13 degrees how to get this to o degrees?
You can no longer use a timing light, they are a thing of the pass. You must have an OBDII engine scanner to set the timing on that year engine, because it is now electronic controlled. You will have to hook scanner up to engine and go into the TIMING MODE on the scanner and then move the distributor by hand while watching the scanner to time the engine. THERE'S NO OTHER WAY.
How do you set timing on 1999 5.7 Chevy 2500?
You can't, The timing is controlled by the computer it is not adjustable. If you had the distributor out of the engine, then the only thing you can do is put it back in with the rotor pointing to the #1 pistion on the compression stroke and then move it enough to get it running. Then you will need to get a OBD2 engine scanner and go into the timing mode and set the timing with the scanner to factory specs. If you did not have the distributor out and the check engine light is not on. Then you have no problem with the timing and no need to scan the engine, the computer will take care of the timing.
