Just a thought,pull the dist.cap and make sure the rotor has
no side to side play ,thinking maybe a bad upper bushing in
the dist.Also,if the EGR valve has carbon and soot built up
on the piston it will make it idle really poor ,but run ok.
Might pull the EGR and clean it with intake cleaner.
Hope this helps.

You said the problem happened right after the engine was replaced correct? If so bring number cylinder to top dead center on the compression stroke. Remove the distributor cap and see if the rotor is lined up with the number one spark plug wire. It's possible the distributor was installed 180 degrees out.

Look and make sure your computer is good! PCM could be failing you! Injectors don't really go bad! Also look at you fuel pressure make sure it's strong!

98 gmc jimm 4x4 4.3l v6 replaced plugs, wires and distributor cap and rotor. Still getting P0304 code and rough idle. Higher rpms flatten out roughness but take off feels off. Any help??

spray carb/choke cleaner all around intake gasket mating surface on heads. (while motor is running) If rpms change you have a bad intake gasket.

is it idling high and you put it i gear it runs rougher and smoke black check your coolant sensor also connection or sensor itself and fuel pressure if high check for return line blockage also vacuum leaks make sure you have the right vacuum going to your map sensor you need to check right vaccum at idle going to your map sensor/

1994 GMC Jimmy hard to start and runs rough when first started

i think if you checked the sparking plugs and map sensors then check your distributer its maybe not delivering the current nedded to perform the spark to some of the cylinders

P0300, P0304, P0306, and P0456- 2000 Jeep GCL

Have run into this problem with the Jimmy and Chevy pickup. The CPS is often the cause but as you havere placed it, make sure it is good by the way my first was bad. Check your computor harness connectind to CPU as if it gets pinched somehow it will give you the same reaction. It will take patients to check the harness. Good Luck hope this helps.

2001 GMC Jimmy Idling rough

HI
P0300 is multiple misfires.
P0171 is lean burn on left bank 1 means drivers side
02 sensor is faulty. Your vehicle is over fuelling that is why your are getting P0300 code and the rotten egg smell. Good idea is to replace both 02 sensors.
