esoxansteel Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Yer just full of good news Dan.LOL Thanks guys for the quick responses. I,ll go check that as well Randy. My company truck which is the same as yours and same engine, is going in for service on monday for the same thing, will let you know what the problem is, it studders and chugs for 5 minutes and is fine, im assuming an engine miss of some sort either bad wire plug or coil etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Same thing happened to a friend, worked fine once the motor warmed up. It was a leak in a vacuum line as someone stated above. Once the motor warmed up, it was fine. Only effected it at a lower RPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish_fishburn Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 My Ford truck was doing the exact same thing. I changed the plugs and wires and also the inline fuel filter and the problem is solved. So one of those three things did the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think though,I may have a punched plug.Getting looked at this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Brian, my Jimmy was acting in a similar way... so I did what every good OFC'er would... I asked Bernie! He described my problem for me! LOL The engine would run fine, at start up and at pretty much any other time, unless and until I put the engine in a low RPM, high torque situation. It would chug and try and die and only after giving it more gas would it even out... Bernie's answer, sight un-seen... "Joe, your coils gone". Sure enough, new coil, wires etc... running like brand new. Just a thought, heck, I am entitled to one a day! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
