Only on cold days, once started engine revs itself up and down several minutes 1200-600 rpm. sometimes shuts off. when driving it will either buck, not go over 40mph, or engine will wind up like out of gear (rpm goes way up), or a combination of all three. runs fine on warm days. thinking it may be iac,tp sensor or cpu.
You may be correct with what you think the problem may be, but another good thing to check is your coolant level. A low coolant level could cause false readings from you coolant temp sensor, which in turn will cause an engine hunting condition that you described.
Testimonial: "Thank you for your response, I will check that. Someone mentioned today that it may be coolant temp sensor. I will let you know how it works out."
SOURCE: Wont start when weather is cold.
Tune up... its flooding when its cold due to the plugs being worn out...
SOURCE: 2000 silverado 4.8 v8 runs bad when it is cold out side.
Try replacing the coolant temperature sensor for the injection system.
SOURCE: '99 chevy Silverado Z71,5.3 engine.....will not rev when hot.....
try replacing your EGR Valve, or your Oxygen Sensor
SOURCE: when cold, it idles rough, revs high then low! After warmed up it runs fine
if it runs high when you first start it then mellows out,, theirs no problem , all of our chevys do that.... but if its sputtering or you hear a quiet popping noise check spark plugs
SOURCE: 1999 Grand Am 3.4litre idle problems. Starts rough
it sounds like you have a injector leaking down into one of your cylinders so it is flooding out a cylinder thus runs rough and long cranks.
