My truck idles rough and dies at low rpm, runs decent when driving at normal speeds. This is after replacing mass air flow, plugs, plug wires. Cleaned throttle body, ran injector cleaner, and high octane gas. Runs better in normal driving, but still idles rough. Scanner says oxygen sensors The truck has been burning more fuel over the last few months until It missed so much you couldn't drive. Any ideas?

SOURCE: throttle body injectors not fiering but there is fuel pressure

the injectors are fired thru the engine cotrol module but it gets its signal to fire from the pick-up located inside the distributor if you are loosing injector pulse only the ignition module is bad if you are also loosing spark when you loose injector pulse your pick up is causing the problem if you replace the pick-up i recomend you change the ignition module when doing so because they work together and you have to remove the distributor to change the pick-up

SOURCE: my 1993 GMC Suburban 5.7 liter with throttle body

Wow, That has gotta be a pain. The Maf sensor regulates the fuel supply needed for proper air fuel ratio by telling ecu how muc air is moving thriugh the intake. Check it first, Then the TPS. Good Luck.

What sensor or valve do I replace on my 2001 Chevy impala

from what you are saying with out me checking it, the mass air flow meter is bad it is located in the air induct hose{the ********* hose going to the air filter} has a plug on it and attached to the flex air intake hose with clamps now a trick I learded first is crank car let idle take a wrench and tap the air flow meter and see if it dies or runs rough if so change the air flow sensor Good Luck MIke L.

Hi, I have a 2006 Altima with 31,500 miles. Recently, the engine start shaking when car is Idle but I still feel the shake when driving or at red lights. My second problem is a weird loud (humming) noise...

You don't need to change the spark plugs since it has only 31.5 K. The plugs should last 60K. There is a an adjustment at the gas cable end at engine to increase the idle a little bit. You can increase rpm at idle to 600 RPM. Since your RPM at idle is low that why it is shaking at idle, red lights. Let me know it it is shaking at high speed ( 2500 RPM)
