Asked by MissLadie Aug 05, 2017 at 01:31 PM about the 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe LT 4-Door RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I got the can shaft position sensor, spark plugs,
fuel injector 6, and fuel filter replaced. Put my truck

Check the distributor body for cracks. I have heard the chevys of this time frame had issues with the distributor housing cracking and moisture entering causing issues.
