2000 Chevrolet C Tahoe 2WD V8-4.8L VIN VSECTION Visual/Physical Check
Several of the symptom procedures ask for a careful visual and physical Check. This step is extremely important. It can lead to correcting a problem without further checks and can save valuable time. This check includes:
^ The PCM grounds for being clean, tight, and in the proper location
^ Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, and proper connections, as shown on the Vehicle Emission Control Information label - Check thoroughly for any type of leak or restriction.
^ The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor installation - The arrows on the plastic portion of the sensor must point toward the engine.
^ The air intake ducts for being collapsed or for having damaged areas
^ Air leaks at throttle body mounting area, MAF sensor, and the intake manifold sealing surfaces
^ The ignition wires for cracking, hardness, and carbon tracking
^ The engine harness wiring and terminals for proper connections, pinches or cuts
