In this video I remove the Distributor Cap, Rotor, Wires, and Spark Plugs. This should be done as a regular maintenance every 60-100k miles.

I appreciate that your thurough without wasting time any extra breathe is useful info and that is really refreshing man some of these things I know but having the quick reminder is everything without tryna being a scientist know all. Your good soup my mAn
98 tahoe thank you so much for the video this will be my first tune up I've ever done and your very good at explaining how to do it or well so it seems I'll be hands on it tomorrow morning thanks again
98 Chevy 1500 5.0 engine...thank you.
Helped a lot!!! I have a 97 1500 5.7L and it was easy after watching this video!!!
Heck yea! Glad to hear my video helped. Good job getting the job done. Good luck with your future diy projects.
1995 Sierra SL, 1500. You make it simple thanks 👍
Thanks for the kind words. Good luck on your fix! Keep us posted on your progress. 👍🤞💪
Used the video to get rid of a misfire on a 94 Chevy K2500 with the 5.7L
1996 GMC Sierra k2500. Thank bruh
I’m about three minutes in, and I’m watching how there’s going to be substantial effort involved. I think I’ll save my money and hire somebody to do it for me. I’m a better Carpenter than a mechanic I think. See you on the other side
👍👍 good thinking. Sometimes it saves time and money to just let a professional do it. You being a carpenter probably have to fix a customers original effort to do the job..
Thanks for giving my video a try. Hopefully another video will help you out on a smaller maintenance procedure.
I can't find Part 2 video. Pls help. Part one is clear, well explained, and very helpful. I just bought a 2002 Chevy 3500 5.7 L. It seems to flood easily when trying to start it. Not a full diagnosis yet. I'll look for your videos for more advanced tuneups. Thanks. I liked, and subscribed.
I have a 98 Chevy k1500 5.7 and I'm trying to figure out what plug is wrapped inside along with the crank position sensor and ground in the front of the engine. Any idea? The plug is not connected and I can't seem to find where it connects to, all I know is it is a two wire plug that comes out the wire harness along with the crank position sensor and ground going towards the bottom front of the engine. Thanks
I was givin my grandfather’s 93 c1500 I can’t tell if it’s a 5.0 or 5.7 how can you tell? Especially if the info is no longer on the door
Where do you get that spark plug wire remover tool?
Wait. Did part two ever get posted?
Good video, I do have a question. I have replaced the cap and rotor but know she won’t start, any ideas? I have positioned the rotor to TDC (or what I suspect is TDC by rotor position). But still won’t turn over. Any help or direction is appreciated.
Do you have spark?
👍👍👍
GMC Gaucho spark plug three nineteen seventy eight
Were is the part 2 video
So what would you replace if there was oil on the spark plugs?
Oil rings on the piston.
This might be a very dumb question , how do I know what engine I have? I recently bought a 89 chevy obs c1500. Previous owner said it was 5.7 , I looked up the vin number it tells me 5.0. It kills gas like a 6.0 lol ( prolly all it needs is a tuneup ) what is a 100% way I could know ?
Do you have a sticker with a lost of rpo codes on the inside of your glove box?
@@ScottiesHobbies yes I do
@@kilz3522 if its a 5.0 you will have one of these codes: LE9, LF3, LG9, LO3. If its a 5.7 you will have one of these codes: LS9, LT9, LO5. let me know if you have one of those. Now that is what is factory, the engine could have been changed...
@@ScottiesHobbies got it. I have a LO3. 5.0 from factory. How can i know if the engine has been changed ?
Did the tune up to get rid of misfires on a 96 Savana 5.0 and cylinder 5 keeps having a misfire. Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil, fuel filter to boot. Still misfiring.
Have you done a compression check?
@@ScottiesHobbies I need to do a compression test, and fuel pressure test still. But the thing that drives me up a wall is that cylinder 5 had no problems at all whatsoever until all of this. It went from 7 to 6 to random back to 6 back to random to five back to random back to five. Now its steady at 5.
@@ScottiesHobbies this is also a vehicle that sat in a coma for 10 years until I got it running again.
@@colinfruend5537 How about using a fuel system cleaner like sea foam? And did you gap the plugs? But the original code was for cyl 5, after all the work you now have a steady #6 missfire?
@@ScottiesHobbies now its steady cylinder 5. I've pulled the wires off and made sure they were seated properly and not touching to make them short out at all. I can double check the gaps, I could have made them smaller by fumbling around in the 2 inches of space the GM engineers decided to give mechanics. Currently it has 2 cans of seafoam in the tank to super concentrate the gas. It's almost out so I have to fill up again. Original code was on 7, then it jumped to 6 and back to 0300 and 6 again and back to 0300 and then 5 back to 0300 and now it's back and staying on 5. This is after plugs and then wires and then a coil and then cap and rotor and fuel pump. All within the last since Tuesday morning.
Does this video apply to 95 gmc vendura 3500
Way more cramped in the van. But pretty much. If you have the dog house in the cab off you can access the cap and rotor real easy.
You did not Show how to remove spark plug wire one by one from plastic that holds them together
Where part 2?
What if you accidentally rushed and took everything off together.
Ehhh.... just gave your self a little more work. You need to figure out your rotor distribution sequence and match it to the cylinders. You got it. Have a little patience. I don't have patience either and I've payed for it many times.
@@ScottiesHobbies the wires are the hard part. They're numbered with Kilowats instead of cylinder number.
where the fuck is part 2?
Probably near Uranus. 🤣🤣
But u didnt put it back together.. Wtf
Is there a pt 2?
Were
@@e.diaz8280 Did you have a question pertaining to one problem that you're having? I might be able to answer a question if you are stuck somewhere.
How do i know what are the right wires. They go in specific s.p
Not to happy withthis videos
But you keep coming back. Lol. The internet is full of helpful info. Don't get stuck here.
It looks like I forgot to upload pt 2. Lol. Depending on what you are stuck on I do have separate videos for spark plugs, pcv, fuel filter in my library. But don't forget there is a whole internet at your fingertips.
The damage is done
The cap is numbered he stated that several times through out the video
The match the numbers from the Cap to the proper cylinders the driver side cylinder closest to you if your at the front of the vehicle is cylinder one than across to the passenger side from closest to you that’s two and so on and so forth to make it even clearer all odd numbers 1357 are on driver side . The even numbers 2468 are in passenger side if your looking directly at the vehicle from the fan shroud area. I think the video was Bueno. Hope I helped.
@@ScottiesHobbies I'm looking for Part 2 also. Pls upload. Part 1 is very helpful and clear. I've subscribed and liked.
