Hey all ,
Its been a while since ive been on here i sold my 86 and bought a 92. History on the truck its a bare bones 3.0 auto custom reg cab. No ac, manual everything. It was a government surplus truck and has documented 98k miles.
Ive done a ton of work to it and I just cant figure it out. It idles on the low side(dont know exact no tach) and seems to surge sometimes. Never stalling out. It also shows the check engine light once in a while but turns off and doesnt store codes. Since Ive had truck i have replaced:
Plugs
Wires
Distributor cap
rotor
IAC
TPS
MAF
CTS
water pump
steering pump
radiator
all hoses
thermostat
and full exhaust
All parts have greatly improved the running and most were probably needed
This truck sat for a while
truck seems to run good at speed but will idle rough mainly in park a little less in drive. The only other note is that the trans shifts hard from 1-2 all other shifts are good. I also checked compression and all cylinders are 155-160.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. This truck is quickly turning from a great deal to frustrating.
