It was running really rough and had a slight miss. I was told to clean the mass air sensor and throttle body. I did both and it cleared up the dying and rough running problem. This was with my 01 Tahoe 5.3 and 99 Sierra 5.3 both had same thing but at different times. Also if you have a K & N filter the oil from the filter clogs the Mass air sensor so it has to be clean often. Because they are so close together.<br /><br />Hope this helps if not do it anyway.<br /><br />Danny <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>88DroptopGT</b> <br /><small>Member # 2535</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,0,4,16,27,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Pull codes and clean the MAF sensor.<br /><br />If you are getting lean/fuel codes clean the MAF sensor and/or replace it if cleaning doesn't fix the problem.<br /><br />My GF's Corolla had the same symptoms and it was her MAF sensor, it was all cruddy inside. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>4.6 EATIN GM'S</b> <br /><small>Member # 1633</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,0,4,19,38,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> i put a scanner on it today and it was p0101<br />maf sensor.so i fixed the problem thanks for the info. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
