From the picture, you drive what I have been driving for the last 100 years, right down to the color and no fog lights, less the supercab.

Take a good look at the MAF.

Good luck

electrical cleaner or rubbing alcohol works also. Then disconnect the battery for 1/2 an hour to reset the computer. It can take a couple warm up cycles for the computer to set the new values. Take it to the part store and see if they will pull the codes for you. You need to reset the computer whenever you clean/change a sensor.

The best method of cleaning an ancient MAF that I have found is air. Not by compressor though. I am talking air time thrown in a safe direction, keeping the parts you will need for the core charge.

I can recommend the Carquest unit, big box stores have failed me twice.

Good luck
