OK so the computer came back from Crockett unlocked and the plug wires came in but I’m still stuck. Installed all new wires and did some test rides only to find I am back to where I started. The scan tool picked up 1 code (34) MAP Sensor low voltage. I cleared the code since I don’t know if its new or old and was not able to get it to come back after a good 1/2 hour of testing and having the power issue the whole time.
Its runs lousy then clicks on with normal power for like 30 seconds then cuts off for a minuet or two and back threw they cycle over and over again. Feels like it gets a surge for power the its up. All grounds are clean, connections have been checked and fuel is clean as a whistle. Its also holding pressure at 42lbs on off the fuel rail, right where it should be. I have 3 batteries and tried it on either side with no difference as well.
I have a MAP sensor going in tomorrow but as I can not reproduce the code I’m not feeling like that’s going to get me anywhere. I am thinking the next thing to try here might be the crank position sensor as I hear they are common and can not pop up codes.
Anyone know the GM part number?
Also I am open for ideas again…….

Yes crank sensor. It would die an restart. or run funny at times. Never had a code. The sensor is in the back of the block an reads the crank from behind the flywheel. I'm not saying this is Your problem, Just what My truck did. Good luck. Artie

4bus , your the skinniest guy I know, who else can do it..
Looks like its right below the head on the port side, hopefully accessible.

Why don't you pick the boat up from the hack of a mechanic you sent it to and I will backprobe the labscope directly to the sensor and see if we have an intermittent on the crank sensor? Good chance the computer is not seeing it because of the low diagnostic sample rate of the MEFI4
