Hey guys, got a question. Yesterday afternoon at noon i had started my 95 GMC Sierra 4x4, 305 V8, with my remote start and everything was fine, truck idled smoothly, i got in it, went to work, etc. Later on shortly before 4 pm i had to go uptown again, so i did the same as last time and started the truck with the remote start while i finished eating. But just as i was almost finished eating i could hear the engine stumble then rev, it did this about 3 times before it stalled altogether.
Wondering what was going on i put my boots on and went to start it manually. Once in the truck i turned the key and she fired right up, so i sat and waited a few seconds and all seemed fine so i went back in the house. Shortly after getting in the house i could hear the engine stumble again then just stall. So put on my jacket and stuff and went to see what was going on, i got in the truck again turned the key and she fired right up. Wondering what the hell was going i decided to sit in the truck and watch it for few minutes, about a minute later the engine started to stumble again so i kept it going feathering the gas. I did this on and off for a couple minutes before i decided to check all the fluids. After a quick check of the fluids, i was looking around under the hood and could clearly hear the engine idling slowly and a little rough. So i closed the hood and hopped in the truck and decided to take it for spin hoping everything would clear up. While driving the truck everything seemed fine, it idled at stops and didn't stall, it had power etc. So when i got uptown i put in park and watched it for a a few minutes, this time nothing. It idled but idled a little rough.
Now, i guess my question is this. We had about 3 months of cold weather, ranging anywhere from -5C to -30C. Then all of a sudden we got this warm spell in the middle of January with some rain and warmer temps about 3C to 6C. Could the issue i was having of been caused by moisture in the gas lines etc..? I did fill the truck some afterwards along with gas line anti-freeze after it happened. And everything seems fine now, just not sure what the issue was. Any insight i greatly appreciated.
