I have an 88 2.9. I start the truck and it runs very rough like it has a very bad miss. It also blows smoke. After I drive it a few miles it just smooths out and runs great. If it sits and idles for a while it will just all of a sudden start idling rough again. I have checked the wires, plugs, coil, map, relays, tps, cap, fuel, ground wires. I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?
