I just did this on mine. $500 tahoe, someone sold it to me cause they couldn't get the check engine light to go off. Now I have a perfect 1998 tahoe with no check engine light. Thank you for this video.
Nice idea on the cap. Just one thing though, THOSE ARE NOT DIODES!!! They are aluminum Electrodes. A diode allows current to flow one way in a electric circuit. So don't call them diodes, you'll just confuse beginners. Call them Electrodes.
Been banging my head for years on this bullshit problem on these vortec 350's awsome work around brotha love the video very descriptive. Doing this tonight to clear this code👍
(there is a pending code for P1345, blank, diagnosed it and found that this code typically is related to excessive wear in the cam shaft, causing the timing to be incorrect, to correct this issue, he recommends replacing the cam as well as the timing chain components ) what’s the possibility about this being true?
Thanks for the video. Question? I have a 97 Tahoe 5.7l Vortec. Just replace my distributor and seems to be running better, no codes. However, I still feel and hear a stutter. Hooked up my OBD2 scanner it's showing timing 27-28° advanced. When I replaced it, did I set TDC on the exhaust stroke? I'm pretty sure it should be 0°. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Towards the end of your video he check engine light came on again, was that because of the timing of some other code besides the P1345? Thank you in advance!
Awesome info video.just replaced my old distributor w new one and got a P 1345 code.but I made SURE that rotor blade was pointed right at the #1diode.started right up and drove for 3 miles and ran great but code was noticed when l pulled into a shade d area and seen check engine light.SUCKS l gotta pull that new distributor again 98 chevy k1500 4wd.its a bitch to get to!!!

Not 2 many know this let alone pass it on...u rock sir!!
Pretty slick. No timing gun, no high dollar diagnostic equipment, just a extra distributor cap with view ports. Nicely done ✔
You don't use a timing light to time these motors
@@cable1328 what do you use then?
This is the best description of this whole situation I have ever seen...great video, man, thanks a lot!

Shut the fuck up Ed. No beginner is gonna be setting their cam to crank correlation

Thanks for this video. Great idea. Worked on my 1998 Silverado. Putting a new crankshaft position sensor in next.
Great demonstration, I'm looking forward to more videos!
Juanita Wright thank you for supporting me always
Your a freakin genius bro 👏
Excelente, muchas gracias por el tip, bien explicado, 2 thumbs up 👍 👌 👏
Another great video for this issue. I solved mine this way..
Subscribed, that was a really good explanation. Thank you!
I never seen that the distributor Sparking!!!!that's Genius !!!!!!! thanks for Sharing!!!!!!!!
hello thanks for the video I will try this tomorrow,
Very nice I saw a guy drill the distributor hold down hold so it could be adjusted instead of pulling the distributor. Did the same thing.
Just subbed needed this
Thank you!
Awesome video for the 1345 code, you made it clear and easy, but what caused it to slip, timing chain wear??
Question . So when you pulled the distributor and set it back down. Did you TDC it again or just where it was at that moment. And moved one tooth over
THANK YOU
We adjusted distributive which direction do you turn it

So how did fix it did you have to pull the distributor completely out and redrop it in or did you just spin it
How did you move it w your hand?
Im new at this. Were you running the vehicle without the distributor rotor ? Also what way did you turned the distributor cap when the van died ?
Thanks
Nice job so this happens if you don't stab the distributor in the right spot ?
Where Yu live in not getting code but my spark advance is reading negative yes -28

28°is about how far off it will be if you're 1 tooth off.

He stated in the video that it was MAP sensor because he didn't have it plugged in
way it looks that sometimes spark goes away?
That spark has to hit 7 other points too
Yon never shut the engine off... ??? Explain!
Can I do this on a 97 gmc
If it’s a Vortec yes you can
How did you adjust?
Same thing im wondering

They are NOT DIODES!!! Aluminum towers, those are just conductors. NOT DIODES!!!
@@edcrabb pretty much diodes 😆.
Thank you
