I've about had it with this non-sense. I just pulled the intake to make sure all the plugs we're gapped correctly, wires on good, bad vacuum connections, all that stuff and the truck is still not running smooth. I have replaced the plugs, wires, fuel filter, both O2 sensors, checked for vacuum leaks, and I have no codes. I also noticed that when I pulled the PCV valve, the screen that it sits on was all gunked up so I cleaned that thinking that that was part of my problem but it didn't seem to help. I take that back, it seemed to run a little bit better but it could have been my imagination because today it was just as bad as before. What's next? I am down on power for sure, I just doesn't seem to rev freely or something. When I was getting on an expressway ramp today it was making a chattering noise when I was gassing it in 4th. Didn't really sound like pinging to me but more of a chirpy chatter. Makes me think of something clutch related. I get a little shudder when when start out too. No slipping though. Help!
