simple fix? 6.2 dies at idle
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have an 85 6.2 suburban. No turbo, mechanical fuel pump. Two problems. One, it dies at idle long after it is warmed up. Skips a beat at idle sometimes. Filter cartridge replace 10k ago. Second problem seems harder, after a normal start and run in the morning If it sits for an hour, it starts, runs crappy, then dies. :booo: Almost impossible to get it started then. I have to squirt starting fluid into the intake and floor it, :argh: It slugisly comes to life acting like it is flooded. Once it reves up, runs normal. I put in a manual glow plug switch which I almost always use, doens't help on the hard start. Starts right up after an idle stop, and runs fine. :U: I am thinking of bypassing the mechanical fuel pump with an electric one. Can I use any pump? Is there sucha a thing as too much pressure? Do you think that will fix the hard starting problema nd idel problem? Thanks, nothing like asking the people who know.
