Help with 97 350 missing sd7332 02-13-2005, 05:21 PM
I have a 97 Z71 with a vortec 350. It has just started missing. Checked the trouble codes and it said #2 cylinder misfiring. Changed spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor all with no change. It still missed. Did a compression check on #2 and had 170psi. Same with #1 cylinder. Cannot figure out my next place to check. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help. 2000CAYukon 02-13-2005, 07:09 PM Could be the injector on #2. Also make sure fuel pressure is good. Should be around 60 PSI at idle. Has the fuel filter been replaced recently? //2000CAYukon Fireplug 02-14-2005, 02:57 PM Did you find the missing 350 ??? was it where you put it last???? lol Just yanking your chain. Did you find any problems with cylinder 2 Chevy-SS 02-14-2005, 09:26 PM I had same type of problem on my 350. Turns out the spark plug wires were too close together and I was getting cross-firing. Brand new wires did not fix it. I seperated the wires and all was fine. Check to make sure you got good spark at that wire and that it's not shorting out or jumping somewhere. sd7332 02-14-2005, 09:30 PM Haha.. ya the only thing I noticed for #2 cylinder was the spark plug didn't look like it was burning as hot as the rest of the plugs. The rest of the plugs looked like they had burned clean. #2 plug still looked like there was a little residue from the fuel on it. I checked it and it had good spark.

It might be as simple as a bad spark plug sd7332 02-16-2005, 09:27 PM I tried replacing all of the plugs and wires and cap and rotor. That hasn't changed it at all. Maybe it is an injector. I didn't realize that there was separate injectors for every cylinder on this model. sd7332 03-12-2005, 05:49 PM It turned out to be an injector. Thanks for the help.
