Hi Eric. A couple quick questions. Not sure if you will be able to help or not.
My buddy has a 97 Chev K1500 305, auto. He has been complaining about poor fuel milage among a few other problems. I hooked up my scanner and got 2 codes.
1- P0172 Fuel system too rich bank 1.
2- P0147 02 heater CKT Bank 1 sensor 3.
Any guesses on what to look for?
He also has problems where sometimes his speedo doesn't work then all the sudden starts working. Odo does work when speedo doesn't. Have you seen this before? I was thinking either poor contacts on the through pins where the speedp drive connects to the board in the IC? Possibly poor ground on IC?
He also said that today he went out to start his truck and the clock was at 1:00 and it was 5:30. Also the radio was Off when he knows he left it on. I haven't looked to see if the ground point is the same as the IC yet. Have you seen this before?
I thought I would ask these first before I go looking because these trucks seem to have lots of the same problems so I thought maybe you have seen this before.
Thanks for all your help. I will have to get some snap on gift certs you way
I'd much rather take you out for a steak but you need to move closer to me
