    Cold weather idle/running issues.

    Sooo... Uhhmmm, just an update... So I haven't had any time to tear into the truck cuz of work, but today on my way home the misfire started going away while accelerating...

    I know exsactly what you mean, my 2011 Camaro SS all stock advertised HP is 420, I raced him and him being at 300 hp we where neck and neck, obviously due to the Camaro's bulky size. That was over a year ago he's shaved some weight and added boost since then. Also not sure if hes talking whp or...

    Cold weather idle/running issues.

    Thanks for the info man. So then what I'm gonna do next is put a thermostat in it and see if it'll go out of fast idle on its own once it gets up to temp. I'm also gonna try to figure out if I can get the choke to work properly. I'll continue updating this thread as I go along so hopefully it'll...

    Cold weather idle/running issues.

    Thank you for that Bruce...now I can tell you with 100% certainty that my choke wire has 12 volts going to it, and I can also tell you that the choke flapper does not move on my truck... I did not know it was supposed to so i rotated the plate held by the screws until i felt the engine ran...

    Cold weather idle/running issues.

    Damn dude.... Uuhhmmm... You can laugh at me if you want... I prolly deserve it cuz im blind when it comes to carbs.. as a tech all I've ever done is fuel injection and by the time i was born carbs were gone lol anyway... My truck doesnt have a thermostat in it... So it never warms up past the...

    Cold weather idle/running issues.

    Now you've said it...lmao my previous cars have never done this in cold weather but it's been fuel induction. So you think maybe I should just let it be till the weather passes or do I have a problem I need to be looking into? Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Cold weather idle/running issues.

    How can the cold affect wires/plugs and distributor? My distributor rotor, cap, wires and spark plugs are less than 6 months old btw. All Carquest/AC delco branded. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Cold weather idle/running issues.

    Im sorry for that previous question, i really havnt done research on that one. Just following the train of thought. Now could the cold weather make a difference in this? Or this is just pure coincidence? Cuz it was running great before the cold. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Cold weather idle/running issues.

    Could that also cause my rough run/misfire? How can i know for sure if the choke is working or not? Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Cold weather idle/running issues.

    I definitely grabbed it while the engine was running lol the plugs and wires are about 4 months old. And what I have is a Rochester Quadrajet 4 barrel. No smoke at all, except when i floor it and let off a brief spurt of black smoke, but its always done that. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Cold weather idle/running issues.

    So I live in Florida where it's rarely ever cold enough for a car to notice, but the last couple of days its gone below 32 degrees and my truck has been acting up. It has what feels to me like a misfire, not just at idle but also while it's driving down the road. I've had a dead cylinder in the...

    Stopping roof rust from spreading

    Is it a huge mission/risk to take the windshield off? The rust is nowhere near the rear glass so i dont think i need to touch there yet, but it does go up against the front, but its my daily till i get my silverado fixed so I wouldnt want to tear too deep into it yet. Sent from my Moto Z (2)...
