First off would like to start and say thanks for all the help with my previous thread a few months back. I got the problem worked out, turns out it was a "weak" fuel pump. Anyhow while driving today to get a part for A DIFFERENT vehicle, which is broken down, I hit a hug hole, open manhole cover, a cow or something in the road; It was a hole but just wanted to describe the well kept county rounds we have here in NC. I hit the hole right before I took a left to get onto the highway onramp and the truck jumped back and forth violently (obviously). After taking my left the truck started to jerk back and forth and trying to die. My first thought my was the connectors for my fuel pump had come loose, since I have dealt with so many fuel pump problems it was my first thought. It then dies completely on the side of the road and I turn the key over and the fuel pump is cutting on. I have:
-Fuel at the fuel filter, before and after
-Fuel at the rail, gas shoots out when I press in the valve up top
After letting it sit for a second while I checked all this, the truck started back up again. It BOGS down HEAVY under wide open throttle and you have to feather it to even get it to rev a little. SOMETIMES it will allow you to feather it to say 3-4 grand and you can hold it there and seems to run fine, but it you WOT it bog back down and hover at 1k RPM. letting off it will do its little chug chug chug then slowly die. Try to crank it right after it starts for a split second then dies again and the starter does that long high pitch whine noise. Letting it sit for a minute or 2 it will start again but same things happen. Rinse and repeat.....
Haven't check for spark yet but I assume its getting spark since it will fire sometimes and idle for a little bit before dying again. So...
-I'm getting fuel at the rail
-Seem to be getting spark
Could I have jumped timing hitting the hole? maybe a loose ground? I ripped the computer out from the passenger side floorboard and checked all the connections and "lightly" tapped it a few times. Still nothing.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated guys, love the site!!!
