What happens when the engine warms up in a Silverado?
After about 10-15 minutes of driving when engine warms up, engine bogs down, idles rough, and dies when throttle is applied. I ran the codes, had low voltage x4 oxygen sensors, and random misfires. I replaced the 02 sensors because I am well over 100k miles.

What makes a Chevy Silverado hard to start?
Even 2-3 lbs. less can cause this concern. This 5.3 engine is also known for the intake manifold gaskets leaking vacuum. This causes a hard start and also high idle in cold ambient temperatures, as well as hesitation off idle and unstable idle when engine hot.
