rough running ram50 1989 2.6 carb
Hi there new to the group, just got a 1989 ram 50 2.6 carbed a few months ago, the truck is in mint shape beautiful paint, engine bay is clean, low kms. engine runs a bit rough though. it starts up first try every time, when it gets warmed up it idles really rough but doesnt die. When I drive there seems to be a slight lack of power, if I am in first-third and i take my foot off the gas and apply it again lightly the truck will jerk. I started by having the truck warmed up at idle and parked, I pulled one spark plug out, no change to idle, pulled 2 no change, pulled 3 still no change. There is spark going to the spark plugs, the resistance of the spark plug wires are pretty low in the hundreds where the manual says it should be in the thousands. I am going to start with new wires,cap and rotor to start. I also did a dry compression test 150 straight across. Has anyone encountered anything like this? any input would be greatly appreciated. thank you
