Why does my 1998 gmc jimmy rpm drop so low when its warm causing a miss in the engine

Here's a step by step check list of things that can cause an AC blows warm condition.

https://ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/ac-blows-warm/

There are several things that could cause a knock, ranging from a worn crankshaft bearing(s) to a worn water pump.

You can further pinpoint this knock by defining if it occurs occasionally, constantly, just at a specific RPM, or only under a load.

What kind of a knock is it? Hi-pitched or low-pitched?

A more detailed problem description would yield you a more specific/helpful answer.

Low vacuum causes: cam timing, ignition timing, intake manifold blockage checked hoses, restricted exhaust can also cause low vacuum. Did you check your MAP sensor? Does the vacuum drop off as rpm increase? What are your compression readings?

It can be issue with IAC( idle air control valve) causing the problem.

There are many other possibilities causing these idle issues. Engine idles rough.

There are few help links with solutions to troubleshoot such idle issues.

I suggest you refer the link below and follow its troubleshooting details:------

These details will help.

Thanks.

engine missing could be caused by faulty spark plugs and wires,bad ignition coils,dirty fuel injectors,leaking egr valve,low cylinder compression,intake vacuum leaks.many things will cause engine to miss, first do minor fix,replace distributor cap and rotor,replace spark plugs and wires,clean fuel injectors,replace fuel filter and air filter,if this minor tune up dont help engine and engine still missing, do a vacuum test and compression test to check condition of engine.engine could be worn out have low compression by worn valves and pistons rings.

12 degrees was common for those engines at 650 rpms, but make sure that the engine is warm and disconnect the vaccum advance, which will probably require plugging the vaccum port at the carb.

UNHOOK BOTH HEATER HOSES AND FLUSH OUT HEATER CORE
DO IT FOWARD AND BACK FLUSH / COVER DIST. CAP OR YOU WILL
FILL IT WITH WATER / IF IT CLEARS OUT HOOK HOSES BACK UP AND
BLEED AIR OUT OF SYSTEM / IF IT DOES'T CLEAR OUT HEATER CORE
WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED (DASH COMES OUT TO DO HEATER CORE)

when changing the filter? maybe 4, at overhaul maybe 10-11?

I would go down to your local auto parts store and do an alternator and battery test. It sounds like at low rpms you are loosing volts. When you apply the brakes you would be supprised how much power from the engine it takes. You could also be loosing oil pressure. Check your oil level. When your engine drops low rpm, the oil pressure drops and shuts down the engine.

sounds like your drawing moister change the dis cap prob has a hair line crack in it!!!
