Only about HALF of them showed up, NO warning from Edmunds that I was running over the text limit.
Anyway folks, follow the link, see if your vehicle meets some of the issues, or better yet, tell your Tech to stop being so cheap and buy an Alldata subscription.
Can yo imagine, looking through 448 TSB
Good Luck
Rusty Wrench
Do you get any codes ?
2002 Chevrolet "Truck"?
Theres quite a few TSB on the 1500 pickup, several include running conditions..
check them out, and see if your wrench can identify the issue.
Sometimes it's cheaper to let a "good" dealer to diagnose the problem
2002 Silverado 1500
the only code that comes up is a misfire on multiple cylinders! yes it is a truck.
-B
Check the throttle position sensor?
1- TURN IT IN & BUY AN OTHER ONE, BEFORE SOME THING GOES BAD.
2- SPEND A LOT OF MONEY AT THE DEALER TO TRY TO FIND THE PROBLEM .
3- JUST TO DRIVE US NUTS THINKING WE HAVE A BIG PROBLEM.
OUR TRUCK RUNS FINE ACCEPT FOR THAT CODE, THEREFORE WE DO NOT CARE HOW MANY TIMES IT FLASHES.
I SAY ENJOY YOUR TRUCK FORGET THE CODE 300.!!!!!!!!!!
SAINTLEN, MACH. FOR OVER 50 YEARS.
about 3 months ago I bought a GMC sierra 2012 V6 4.3L from the showroom brand new.
Last month it went for its first 10 000km service, but from around 5000km on the car I have had a problem with my car not wanting to pull away, for example when I am at a roundabout and i need to press the accelerator to go forward, the car does not move, it goes forward really slowly and then makes a loud bang noise from the right front side of the engine, only after this sound comes the car has its normal speed back and moves.
Though this problem only happens sometimes. somedays this does not happen and other days it does it 3 for times.. I have been to the Main GMC service centre several times and the assistant manager even took it for a test drive but this problem did not happen with him in the car. now he is accusing me of lying.
Does anyone have this problem or know what it might be, it will be a great help.
Thank you
ps. my car has been more in the service center than i have actually driven it..
Sarah, GM Customer Service
I have a 2003 silverado 4.3L that I have an issue with when I try to accelerate. I turn the truck on and it turns on perfectly fine, when I put it in gear and try to take off it stalls like if gas was being restricted, this is only when i have it in drive! I can drive it but it will stall literally every other second and i've noticed that when it blows black smoke. It doesnt give me any check engine light, put a scanner in and no codes....I have replaced fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump, fuel injectors and fuel filter and not it does this...any help will be appreciated.

I'm helping a friend out with his 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 w/ 4.8 vortec engine(recently bought used) approx. 90,000 miles. It began to stall about 2 weeks ago and today after picking it up from the shop, it stalled in the middle of an intersection after a red light. When it stalled, he described it as, "it started hopping around and shaking. All the electronics shut off and it took about 15 minutes for it fire back up."
I pretty much have it narrowed down to 3 possible issues; crank shaft position sensor, idle air sensor, altitude sensor. I know that all 3 of those possibilities will not immediately produce an error code, if one at all. I hooked my code reader up to it anyway and I got nothing out of it. These are all fairly probable causes for it to stall. From his description, I am leaning towards the crank shaft position sensor. But why would the crank shaft position sensor cause the electronics to shut down with the ignition on?
So far I haven't found any issues with the alternator or transmission(that would cause it to stall).
Does anyone have some advice to throw my way, besides cleaning the sensors and checking the grounds(basic initial diagnosis steps).
Any useful info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
pump to the injectors along with various sensors, the problem ultimately came down to the pick up on the distributor having crumbled magnets. After changing all that we did in the fuel system (which was going to happen in the restoration anyway so I don't feel so bad. Truck only had 74,000 miles on it), after finding the distributor issue and setting the timing, the truck ran like a brand new vehicle. My mechanic friend had just recently had another Chevy truck with a similar issue to what I was experiencing and when he checked the distributor, it had cracks in the pick up magnets as well. Solved the issue right away. So, if you have hesitation issues and have tried all your sensors and still having issues, it is worth taking a look at the pick up magnets in your distributor to look for cracks. From what I was told, this will not trigger a check engine code for some reason. Good luck!!
