Well, I replaced the crank position sensor and put in a brand new cam position sensor and a new set of plugs and she runs like a champ!

I'm thinking I'm going to need to do my intake manifold gasket soon as I've got some oil in my water... I've heard about a new injector setup by Delco that give true multi-port injection. Might do that too.

If you have water in the oil i would do the gaskets ASAP the water will ruin the engine,Felpro makes a nice kit and the upgraded spider will save you problems in the furture check out amazon,rockauto and parts geek

Spider:Delphi FJ10566 Fuel Injector : Amazon.com : Automotive

Gaskets:Felpro/Intake Manifold Gasket (MS98000T) | 1997 Chevrolet K1500 1/2ton Sub 4WD 8 Cylinders R 5.7L SFI | AutoZone.com

Thanks for the links! That helps me with my search a lot... How do you feel about the Delphi Fuel Injector compared with the ACDelco unit?

I have a 96 suburban that I bought with the heads off due to a cracked head replaced the heads and gaskets had it running but it was rough so I dropped the tank to clean out the lines and tank because it sat for 3 or more years once I put it back together it wasn't getting gas replaced pump and I am getting gas to the spider but it will not start I use berrymans b-12 and it will run but with that only now its throwing a cam and coil code so what could be my problems im afraid I purchased a money pit could it be low fuel pressure or what thanks for info
