Here we go again LOL POS Suburban ???

[rvrmom]

Okey Doke..

So I got the car

It is running like shit. Take it to the shop..

Needs spark plugs, wires, throttle body something , oil change etc.. I spend 475.00. Guy tells me it was throwing codes Then he cleared them.. But will run fine???

He says if the check engine light comes on again.. which it did it is a fuel injector problem or an O2. Why is this thing still rumbling???

<<<momma needs help thanks guys

What year is the burb? Motor?

My 96 with 200+ on it has gone threw a few parts in its life! 5.7 1/2 ton
every O2 sensor that has gone out on it has always been the heater and made no diff on running condition, just turns on the light.
If its hesitating or missing I would think injector or ignition but I would think a shop would catch that.

Then again, a few months back I had the ford dealer drain out a half tank of fuel "bad gas they said" and then two more tows back to the dealer. Why? Come to find out it was a dirty MAF sensor that they could not figure out!

 

[rvrmom]

It's an 02... and I have started more threads on this damn car then I car to admit Ya... it's missing... studdering when I start it. thanks for the reply :thumbsup

 

[RitcheyRch]

Bet you are wishing someone would steal it at this point.

 

[Flyinbowtie]

Makes me wonder if the clown read the codes and test drove it?
Is the Check engine light on again?
Take it to someone who knows WTF they are doing, if it hasn't had the oxygen sensor(s) replaced before that would be my first guess at this point, but someone with a scanner who knows will be able to read the computer.
Oxygen sensors are screwed into the exhaust system and tell the computer how much fuel to inject as your foot moves up and down on the throttle. It reads the load, the hill, all that stuff. They are a big part of the whole system, and usually much cheaper than injectors.

My girls dad just went through the same bs. I'm going to tell you the same thing I told him over and over and over. FUEL PUMP!

Seems I remember someone having to learn this lesson beforeoint:lmao

Sean is right, it's the fuel pump 100% positive, stumble at start = low fuel pressure, stumble while running = low fuel pressure or really worn plugs and both will through a O2 sensor code because the mixture is not right and the ECU cannot compensate for the low fuel pressure

 

[No Butt No Putt]

Geeee thanks Karl.

LOL

 

[No Butt No Putt]

Mine wasn't the fuel pump. It was the line inside the fuel pump. Thanks again for that. I still owe you.

 

[SummitKarl]

Geeee thanks Karl.

LOL

hey what are friends for...LOL

no worries

 

[rvrmom]

LOL Nope not the fuel pump... I replaced that a year or so again. Cost me 700.00 it was a intake or in tank pump...

 

[toon]

Have you had the intake manifold gasket replaced? If it it is missing and shaking and acting like it is going to die when you start it up there is a good chance it's the gasket. Found out the hard way after replacing plugs wires coils maf sensor o2 sensors fuel filter and probably some other stuff I am forgetting on our 02 burb.

 

[rivermobster]

Jamie, I sent you a txt, but didnt get a reply. Call me when you get a chance.

I'm going to go with the intake is leaking.

So because its new its not bad? All of those symptoms point to a faulty fuel pump. Have you checked fuel pressure?

This is another good idea.
