Wasn't sure whether to post a new topic for this or not, but since my little no-start incident I've noticed the truck has a slight misfire - a hiccup really, and not big enough for the CE light to register (if it would) - and it only happens under load (in drive/rev) and only at idle. I can't figure out what's causing it. I changed the plugs and wires and ran seafoam through the oil and gas but it hasn't fixed it.
Any idea what this could be? I've read that carbon buildup could cause this, but I'm not so sure that's the problem.
It wasn't doing this before the truck died. It just started after I got the plugs and wires in. Of course, I nearly took the whole truck apart trying to figure out why it wouldn't start but I don't *think* I broke anything.
First I used some NGK platinum plugs I had laying around and it started up, but later I changed them to NGK BPR6EY 11 plugs (although my manual specifies NGK BPR6ES 11 plugs, I could not find a store that carried them). I had NGK wires in but I put on Duralast wires just to see if they helped, but I still get that misfire.
Is there a big enough difference between v-power and standard plugs? What else could cause a random misfire?
Thanks!!!
