Rain is Dumb!!
So i have a 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 step-side. This thing will not start if it sitting more than 8 hours in the rain. When it is running it seems like it misses when its first taking off until it picks up speed. Doesn't do it when its just idling, only when I am first starting to go. I've already replaced the plugs, distributor cap, rotor bug, coil, and ignition module. ... Read More

Thanks biga4! I was having the same problem with my 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 4.8LTR V-8 you described in your post. I had changed out all eight of the coils along with a new fuel pump & filter (the fuel pump was causing a lag whenever the fuel in the tank was 1/4 full or less) but I was still plagued with rough idle & hard start. I changed out the ... Read More

Re: 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3 lt backfires [snowprincess]
you sure you swapped in a good MAF? does it idle rough in neutral or only while in gear/rolling? if rough idle in neutral, does it smooth out when you remove oil filler cap? if yes, maybe intake manifold gaskets & RTV-sealant? (even a good MAF can't adjust for an intake leak?) these are longshot ideas from an earlier GM V8s, maybe not relevant to your 5.3, but just in case... ... Read More
