88pioneer Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 thanks to are 2nd flood in a few weeks, haven't had any chance to figure out my weird starting/ running problem. I still have yet to clean the CPS, but i am also trying a few other ideas. Its got new plugs but i'm going to do cap, rotor, and wires. Its had pretty much everything in the fuel system replaced so i know its getting fuel. It will turn over but run really rough, kind of chug. for about 10 seconds then run smoother, however once in drive it runs rough again for a bit, sometimes to the point where it stalls :fs1: . It also sounds like a possible vacuum issue, because when there is no load on the engine, Park an Neutral, it idles higher than normal. Seems like lots of possibilities and hoping someone can pick out the right one :smart: before i go chasing this around with lots of new parts :ack: . It also has a new TPS.

Geonovast Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 How bad did the truck get submerged? I take it that it ran fine before the floods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostissues Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I don't think the problem has anything to do with the floods, I think the floods are just the reason he cannot work on his truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeegy410 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 :agree: and i'm leaning toward vaccum leak or something went wrong when replacing all the fuel system stuff :dunno: doesnt sound like a spark issue unless it is just a coil or something, but the nature of it running smoothe then not doesnt sound like spark :dunno: i would see how it runs at hi throttle, if it runs better when revved up, its probobly an issue with it not getting fuel, if it runs worse when revved up, its probobly a vac issue. also, are your brakes working ok? it could just be a loose brake booster hose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kro10000 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Try unhooking your EGR solinoid and capping the line, that solved my idle issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
