Just suddenly started doing this...
When cold, the engine will start right up, then it idles pretty fast (about 2200 RPM) for about 5 seconds, then it drops down & dies. If I give it a bit of gas, I can keep it running.
After about 1 minute, something seems to "kick in" and then it runs & idles fine.
Code 211 says "Profile Ignition Pick-up circuit failure" in my Haynes book, but I'm a bit lost where to go with it (and of course there's not even a hint about it in the Haynes book ). It doesn't seem intermittent, the truck still runs perfect after it's been running for a bit.
Anyone have any ideas on this? (Crankshaft sensor? Camshaft sensor? Something else in the ignition?) Seems like if it was an ignition issue though, it wouldn't run at all.
