Title: rough idle in 350 while in gear
Post by: 7387chevynut on November 27, 2011, 03:51:45 PM
Well I finally figured out my problem with the K5 blazer stalling out after it warmed up.............(timing was out of wack).

Now that....that problem is fixed, truck drives/runs fine.....accept for........the idle


When the truck is started up COLD........trans in gear/foot on brake........motor idles nice and smooth....


but as it WARMS up............the idle gets alittle rougher..........and once warm it will at times idle rough enough  that my Blazer at a stop, will shake alittle (annoying as fk)

dont know whats causing it........ my 95 chevy runs nice and smooth.........and my Blazer shouldnt be any different.

that i couldnt tell you, no TACH in my blazer.

it has me stumped................cause it idles so smooth when the motor is cold.........but when warm it will idle p00 p00 in gear/foot on brake.

Was told it was a newer 350 (which by the manifolds it has on it, it is, and as far as I know its stock.

Cam, lifters, low oil pressure not keepin the lifters pumped up - oil gets thinner when warm, vacuum leak, egr maybe..
