I have a chevy silverado - 5.7 engine. It runs rough, wont idle and most time dies unless i pop it in neutral, shakes and sputters when i accelerate and not much power. I have replaced the air filter, gas filter, ERG valve, ERG relay, spark plugs, wires, rotor, cap, PCV valve and hose going from PCV to intake and vacuum hoses on intake. I have tested the throttle position sensor and idle air control valve and appear good according to the service manual. Any other ideas?

    A new fuel pump fixed the problem.

Remove the air cleaner and look into the throttle body and see if there is gas coming out both injectors.If only one is working then switch the wire connector from one injector to the other.This will tell you if the injector is bad or if it is not getting a signal.Check for good vacuum at a good vacuum port.Should be close to 20 inches of vac.If not then this could be a good sign of bad timing or plugged converter.Hope this helps.Good luck.

Not sure if this is an old post and you have already solved your problem,but,i have a g10 chevy van and it started running the same as you have explained.took it to mechanic after spending time on it myself,changing different sensors ,etc,after he gave up,i mentioned ecm (the main brain),he said no that's not the problem,it did,t show anything on his scanner,i figured for ***** and giggles i,d change it,bought a new one didn't clamp it down,in case it didn't help ,i could take it back,so,i just plugged it in ,started my van ,and it ran beautiful.....but i would check your injectors like the other lad mentioned.....good luck

My 2005 Chevy Monte Carlo kind of spits and sputters while driving. What could be the problem?

There are several potential issues that could be causing your 2005 Chevy Monte Carlo to spit and sputter while driving. Here are a few possibilities:
  1. Fuel delivery issues: If your engine is not receiving the correct amount of fuel or air, it can cause hesitation or rough idling. This could be due to a clogged fuel filter, a malfunctioning fuel pump, or a problem with the air intake system.
  2. Ignition system issues: A faulty spark plug, ignition coil, or other component of the ignition system can cause misfires, which can make the engine hesitate or sputter.
  3. Emissions system issues: Your vehicle's emissions system is designed to reduce harmful pollutants in the exhaust. A malfunctioning component of this system, such as the oxygen sensor, can cause the engine to run poorly.
  4. Electrical issues: A damaged or worn electrical component, such as a sensor or relay, can cause the engine to run rough or stall.
  5. Transmission issues: If your vehicle is experiencing transmission problems, such as slipping or shifting issues, it can cause the engine to hesitate or sputter.
To determine the exact cause of the problem, it's best to have your vehicle diagnosed by a certified mechanic. They can perform a diagnostic scan to check for any error codes or issues with the engine, transmission, or emissions system.

Idles roughly, then low when stopped or in park, then dies. Decreasing gas mileage. Slow to accelerate

Sometimes that's caused by a vacuum leak near the manifold area.

Sometimes air in the coolant will cause an idle problem. Air will keep the air temp sensor from sending proper info.
Hope this helps.

Rough idle, Car shakes, sputters and misfires upon acceleration

It sounds like you may have a problem feeding the fuel to your engine, I had the same problem with my 89 RS. All the 1989 model's fuel systems were recalled. I think you may need a new fuel pump. The fuel pump is located inside the gas tank in the rear of the car right under the rear axle. The fuel pump itself isn't too expensive, but with other small parts such as the electrical harness upgrade and fuel filter and the labor you should be looking somewhere in the $500 range. I hope this helps.
