Afternoon! I've already read the tips here: https://www.therangerstation.com/forums/index.php?threads/before-performing-any-diagnostic-procedures-on-your-engine.82170/
-I replaced my fuel filter less than 1k miles ago
-same with spark plugs
-tested resistance on each plug wire (they were replaced ~2k miles ago) and they test in range
-tested secondary resistance on the coil pack, resistance was 10.55k, 10.95k and 10.59k (a little low, but probably fine??)
-confirmed nothing is living/clogging up air intake
I get an all clear from the KOEO test with a cheapo ODB1 reader.
I have a rough idle, shakes the truck. rpms seem steady at ~750.
I don't know the history of the truck. I've been doing a lot of neglected maintenance, pretty sure the odometer has rolled over twice and I'm in the low 200k range.
I have not done a compression test. I have not checked individual plugs for spark.
I was looking at picking up some reman fuel injectors but would appreciate some feedback on improving my diagnostic skills as my 'parts cannon' approach hasn't fixed it yet.
