Hi guys,
I have been having this problem since the beginning of this week. It's
been getting cold here at night 18-28 degrees F. So monday, I go out
and start my truck and it revs up like normal but when it idles back
down it bogs like it is going to die. The truck is kinda jumping like
the engine is about to die but doesn't die. If it sits long enough it
will smooth out. Now, every morning it does it and it does it when I
leave work. It only does it if it sits for a while. My service engine
soon light came on and my aunt owns a parts store so I took it by for
her to check the code. It just said Random Misfire. She tried some fuel
treatment and the battery cable was loose so she tightened it. But it
has still done this the past two days. Anyone else having problems like
this? It has 58K miles and has never been dogged or abused. Also, once
you take off down the road a bit and it gets warm you can put it back
in park and it doesn't do it any more. It only does it when you first
start it up..
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks |

Might (likely is) covered under emissions warranty. I believe federal
law requires coverage to 60,000 miles.

This may sound funny but have the battery load tested. I had a 01
Dodge Ram that exibited the same problem and it was the battery going
bad. It started right up no problem but when the battery was very cold,
and the engine too, it would make the engine missfire until things
warmed up. Good luck and please post back whatever the cure is.

Thanks for the replies guys. As for the battery. I just replaced it
this past summer so I wouldn't think it would be going bad. I had my
aunt check it and it showed up as normal. I got a fuel filter and I am
going to try it tomorrow. I will post after a few days to see if that
fixes it.
Thanks! >> Stay informed about: 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 cold start problem |

Well I replaced the fuel filter and that didn't work. I don't really
think it's an oil problem either. I have had the truck for 2 years and
have always ran the same oil since I have had it. I am thinking it's
some kind of sensor. I may try the mass air flow sensor that polar
suggested. I will let you all know!! >> Stay informed about: 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 cold start problem |

Pull the vac. line off of the fuel presure reg. (small pod on fuel rail) If
there is any fuel present,the regulator needs replaced. This will will cause
a rich fuel condition during starts. Any fuel at all in the vac line
indicates a bad regulator.

I too have a 2002 Silverado - 65,000 miles - 5.3L. I've used 5W-30 since
new.
About a month ago I got the same symptoms. P0300 - Random Cylinder
Misfire Detected. I took it to a repair shop for this diagnosis
($90.00). He reset it, checked plugs, wires and injectors. 4 or 5 days
later the Check Engine Soon light came back on. I bought my own OBD II
reader. The only code is P0300 Random Cylinder Misfire Detected again. I
cleared the code. It came back on again today, about 1 week later. This
all began when the weather got cold, 10 degrees and colder. It is now
warmer, around 35 degrees.
Battery is good too.
At least my $90 bucks for the reader paid for itself.  Though I would
prefer to find a fix. Any other ideas?
