  1. Hey everyone. Last night my truck was giving off a strange smell but went away after about a minute so I didn't think anything of it. Then today it did it again, this time with white/gray smoke coming from the ignition/steering column/vents. It wasn't antifreeze, it smelled more electrical. I recently installed a Kenwood stereo along with aftermarket speakers. Everything was installed correctly and I wire capped all the splicing. However, the wires for the right front speaker came unspliced and without thinking I spliced them back together with the power on and instantly heard a buzz like something was shorted out. I checked all the fuses under the steering column and they're all good but haven't checked under the hood yet. Since that happened the truck has been doing odd things. If the interior lights are completely off you can hear a slight buzzing but it goes away if you turn the interior lights or the headlights on. You can also hear the same buzzing when the truck revs above 3,000 RPMs. I'm thinking it's a bad fuse somewhere under the hood and I'm guessing it would be in my best interest not to be driving it until I diagnose the problem, which is gonna be difficult because it's my daily driver to school and work every day. The truck also stalls out occasionally when idling or when the I let off the gas while driving, but as long as I give it gas it won't stall, and the cat converter has a slight crack in it, I doubt that would have anything to do with it but if anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
  2. Just bought a distributor cap and rotor, but I don't think that's the issue, it doesn't seem to be misfiring. I'm leaning towards a bad sensor based on its symptoms
  3. Hey everyone. Recently purchased a 1990 Comanche 4.0L. Truck runs great but recently has been stalling after I drive. It starts no problem and idles fine at first, but after it runs it stalls occasionally when I let off the gas or it will idle very rough, from close to 0 - 2,000 RPM's. No issues overheating. Just cleaned all the lines from the valve cover and vacuum lines from IAC and replaced the valve cover gasket. Emissions Maintenance light has been on since I bought the truck from my neighbor, close to two months ago and I don't know of anyone with the OBD1 diagnostic. At the time he said it had a bad O2 sensor, but wasn't giving me any problems. It has a very slight exhaust leak in the cat converter. It also seems to happen a lot less often if I keep the RPM's under 2,000, which is making me wonder if it can be the throttle positioning sensor. Any helpful information is greatly appreciated.
