Can a bad MAF sensor leave a GMC Sierra running rough?
A bad mass airflow sensor can leave your GMC Sierra’s engine running rough, or even inoperable. A MAF sensor measures the density of the air entering the intake manifold.
What causes a GMC Sierra 1500 to lean?
The only other thing that will cause a lean condition is low fuel pressure. A vacuum leak will be problematic at idle and go away with higher rpms. Low fuel pressure will get much worse at higher rpms. 123 people found this helpful.
Why does my GMC Sierra 1500 run rough at idle?
The spray smoothing out the rough rpm is an indication of the engine running lean, could be low fuel pressure, could be a vacuum leak. With it running rough at an idle and smoothing out at a higher rpm is a general sign of a vacuum leak.
Why is my GM 4.8l engine running too lean?
The engine may be running too lean, due to a leaking intake manifold. Too lean means too much air and not enough fuel; according to the power control module (PCM) calculation. When the engine is cold, not all sensors function. As the engine warms up the oxygen sensors report the lean condition.
What makes a GMC Sierra run too lean?
Of all the sensors equipped in your vehicle, the O2 sensors may have it the hardest. They deal with super hot exhaust that can cover them in deposits that can leave them ineffective. The heat of the exhaust can also bake the wiring going to/from them over time. If an oxygen sensor goes bad, it can make your Sierra run too lean (or rich).
What does rough idle mean on a GMC Sierra?
rough idle, stalling, loss of power. o2 sensor code 44 (lean) Replaced: coolant temp sensor, tps, map sensor, fuel filter, and o2 sensor. It will run normal on occasion but only lasts about 45 seconds or so.

What are the sensors on a GMC Sierra?
The oxygen sensors that are equipped in your GMC Sierra are responsible for monitoring the exhaust to help the ECU determine the correct air/fuel mixture. Of all the sensors equipped in your vehicle, the O2 sensors may have it the hardest.

What’s the problem with my GMC Sierra AC?
I’ve got a problem I got hot air coming out the vents on the driver side,and cold air on the pass.side that includes when im running the air. Blows cold air on driver’s side and hot air on passenger side. Should heat both sides. when heater is on it will throw heat for a while and then starts to throw cold air out the driver side vents.
Where does the air come from on a GMC Sierra?
Any suggestions on a good repair manual that will cover the A/C systems and circuitry. Air only comes out dash vents. Changing to floor or defrost switch position does not change air flow.

What causes a GMC Sierra to jerk when going down the road?
Jerking – As you go down the road, you’ll feel your Sierra really jerk and hesitate as the engine speed changes erratically. It’s bad for your motor mounts when this happens. Also, jerking can be caused by bad spark plugs or coil packs.
