A 5.7 engine w/auto trans. When I start the engine it runs on all eight cyl. but after 15-20 seconds it starts to lose 1 or 2 cyl. Is this a carb or dist. problem? This just started all at once. kev2 Veteran Jan 18, 2014, 2:34 PM Post #2 of 3 (1305 views) Re: Engine problem Sign In   1988 is this a carb or TBI -throttle Body Injection? Anyway The "loosing" of 2 cylinders, misfiring would be IGNITION, check all plugs- are they firing, read the plugs wet, dry, black, tan appearance? maybe remove a plug wire one at a time - a removed wire should cause a stumble the ones that once removed cause no discernible change are the suspects !988 a long time ago I can not remember if carburetor or injected... nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Jan 18, 2014, 4:18 PM Post #3 of 3 (1299 views) Re: Engine problem Sign In This one should be TBI. That was standard in 87 on for them. What is the maintenance history on this? I'd be interested in the condition not only of plugs and wires but of the cap and rotor. With the distributor at the back of the motor on a van chassis lot of people neglected it. With the age of it anything is suspect.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
