SOURCE: 91 chevy 4.3 v-6 runs extremely rich when engine

DTC - 13 Oxygen sensor circuit open or no activity
DTC - 33 MAP sensor circuit error (signal high indicating low vacuum)
DTC - 54 Fuel pump circuit low voltage

Start with checking the wire leads to the O2 sensors and MAP sensor. Look for any damages to the wire harness and replace any parts damaged or faulty.

The O2 and MAP sensor take reading and sends it to the ECM to recalibrate the fuel injector pulse to adjust the amount of fuel entering the cylinders. When there is an issue to the O2 sensor or MAP sensor and even both, the ECM will be set a a factory default to run rich to keep the engine running and at times the engine may not even run. Normal fuel to air ratio is 14.7:1 - 14.7 air to 1 parts fuel and at default it could be as high as 12.5:1. Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to help you get your truck running 100% again soon and please rate. replacing the thermostat and temperature sensor would also be a good thing since the 4.3 runs best at 190".

SOURCE: what are the symptoms if my car has a bad engine

More specifically you will have trouble starting the car. When the ECTS is bad the PCM reads it that the engine is at -40F. This means that it will dump tons of fuel into the engine in order to warm it up. You may also experience rough idling due to the rich fuel mixture and black smoke from the exhaust (which is an indication of running rich, burnt fuel).

Low temp on iat reading and my 94 chevy dont have one

Pretty sure it would have an IAT sensor, else your scanner would not have been able to show that. Double check for it-it may be mounted right close to the throttle position sensor,. or the idle air control, somewhere in the intake manifold. Your symptoms of running rich are the classic case of a bad IAT, or a bad Coolant Temp. Sensor. But the scanner said iat, so I would believe that. Do you know for a fact it has no intake air temp. sensor?

2003 mountaineer V8 Temp gauge jumps to hot not over heating. Replaced thermostat, no change

The Engine Temp. sensor is bad. it is under the intake manifold. if there is a miss also check under the coils over the spark plugs. If there is Coolant in the spark plug holes .then the intake gasket is leaking. The intake manifold needs to come off to change the coolant sensor. When off look for corrosion on the cylinder head at the coolant port. If there is corrsion then the cylinder head must be replaced.

2007 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. I was driving and my digital dashboard reported engine hot and AC turned off. My temperature gauge read cool. What do I need to replace?

This sounds like a bad coolant temp sensor that give computer false reading, check the coolant temp sensor connector and if it is good with no bad wires to connector then replace coolant temp sensor , when the computer gets a signal from temp sensor that engine is hot it turns fans on high speed to cool radiator and displays a/c turned off , if this truck does not have electric cooling fans then they wont run just explaining what happens depending on engine and cooling set up. replace coolant temp sensor and check connector.

You may two problems and one symptom. you may have a blend door problem that is not allowing air to circulate threw the heater core. also you may have a bad connection or weak coolant temp sensor showing you erratic readings and it may have nothing with the heat in the vehicle. you need to eliminate or separate the one of the the problems to diagnose your one symptom.

1998 chevy silverado 7.4L 454 big block v8 dually 4x4 won't stay running. Cranks, starts, then dies. Does not seem to be a problem when it is cool. After running and getting heated up it won't re-start....

do not think alarm would cause this do you have a check engine light on?? there is a coolant temp sensor that reports to pcm it could be out of range you need to hook vehicle to a scanner and check the temp that is being reported by coolant sensor when cold and when hot also may want to look at mass air flow sensor also have you even thought of ignition module what symptoms you have sounds just like an ignition module problem
