I have only had the truck a couple of weeks and I haven't put 100 miles on it yet.
Anyway, I am having a problem of low power.
I was driving and the engine suddenly started sounding and acting like I was in too high a gear. After a minute or two it went back to normal and the truck ran just fine.
It happened again this weekend. Same as before, lost power then it came back. Finally it lost it again and it never came back and now it idles rough.
The guy I bought it from had just put on new coil packs. I suppose to fix the problem that I am having.
Anyway, I found a plug wire that was sparking/burning up. So I replaced all the plug wires and plugs. But it didn't help.
So I bought the Haynes Repair Manual and was looking over the firing order.
The left side coil pack plug wires were plugged up wrong. So I changed it to match. But the truck ran just as bad. My friend told me to reset the computer for it to adjust to the new firing order... I have never heard of that so I have no idea what is wrong. If anyone has any ideas it would be great.
Also the haynes manual has the coil packs plug wires different than what is shown on this site, which is confusing.
