Okay, anyone who reads my previous questions will know the details but long story short...
Bought a 1995 Chevy Suburban 1500 with the 5.7l V8, throttle body, etc.
Here is what I posted before:
"Before & since I have cleaned my throttle body, my Suburban sputters when I lightly put my foot on the gas & hesitates at take off.
For instance, when I lightly press the accelerator & creep along at less than 5 mph, my engine chugs along & kind of sputters. It also does this when I am cruising along, any speed, & lightly press the accelerator to maintain my speed.
When I get on the gas more, it roars forward as it should, but there is that little area of pedal that causes this.
What could it be? The gauges all read normal, it starts & runs fine, just does this sputtering thing & hesitation as take off.
I am unsure of the maintenance as I just bought it used with 180k miles. The mileage is supposed to be mostly highway mileage, I guess the owner drove to Canada & back quite frequently to hunt. It is very clean inside & the body is in good condition for being 15 years old. The engine bay is clean as well, but it doesn't have tell tale signs of being washed under the hood either.
I am stuck, possibly bad plugs/wires? Maybe some setting in the throttle body? Best answer gets 5 stars."
Well, as per an answer, I replaced the PCV valve & checked the vacuum lines, but the problem still persists. It didn't get better or worse.
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance, good lead/answer gets 5 stars!
