First off. 4.0 sohc motor. Automatic trans.
So. I recently got a code, p0301, misfire in cyl 1. No biggie. Check plug and wire. All good. Hmm. Switch plugs. And wire with another cyl just to confirm the code doesn't "follow" those items. It doesn't. Always cyl 1.
So I drove it a bit as I needed to haul some crap, then I got the p0171. Bank 1 lean.
Hmm. Ok. Cleaned MAF, cleaned my air filter (k&n) reset truck by disconnecting battery. Andddd no change.
Now. What really baffles me is when I punch it, it down shifts and once in a while it will start flashing the check engine light. And the truck sounds baaaaad. And a sometimes I'll give it gas and it will do nothing. Revs go up, speed goes down like I'm coasting no power.
I have a video I'll upload.
Once I let off the gas for a few seconds the cel stops flashing and and the truck returns to normal driving conditions. Only at idle, and the above mentioned situation, does it run rough. All other times its normal. Smooth. Etc.
Running out of ideas. Going to pick up a compression tester and check that. Can't find a vacuum leak, but I'm not a professional. May have to have a smoke test done.
Anyone have any other ideas?
