I just developed a miss at idle. The truck feels like it has a huge cam in it, because the whole truck lopes, and it gets a bigger lope when load is added...
truck drives decent once the rpms are up, but it stumbles a bit in low speed stuff.
I am hoping its something simple like a fouled plug(30K on those), or plug wires(factory)
Looking for any other ideas before I get into it this weekend...

Thanks

Need a Spot
cap/rotor/wires/plugs cheapest and first place to start...

egr valve stuck open...you can try applying vacuum to it directly. should nearly kill the engine if its not stuck open.

TPS out of adjustment or bad...

Check the FSM link in the first thread on this forum. Has some good troubleshooting in it!

Good luck

Check your diaphagms, intake, and hoses for vacuum leaks. Vacuum leaks can cause misses at idle but it would have to be pretty bad to affect high rpm much.


America's first fourwheel drive was built in Mankato, MN by Ernest Rosenburger in 1908 who founded Four-Traction Auto Co. on Hickory Street. The company though successful closed in 1913.

Make sure your idle rpm is did nuts on. Without along winded explanation, if your idle is to high or low it will affect your efi system in terms of a miss at idle.

Well, the problem revealed itself friday night as a blown head gasket! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />
Its weird, when the truck was cold fri night, it ran like it would with a blown HG, rough, puking white smoke, then as the truck warmed up, the white smoke went away... I guess the heating of the metal closed the gap in the HG.

oh well thanks anyway
