89 2.9 5spd 4x4
Made a left turn out onto the highway and the truck died on me. I thought maybe I let the clutch out too fast and killed it, but it wouldn't start after. It just turned over and over. I had to hold the pedal to the floor before it would start to catch. Finally after about a minute of continuous turn over it caught but it barely ran. Felt like thetiming was off. Giving it more than a little gas tried to kill it, but it didn't idle right, just kinda clunked. After a few minutes of running it started to idle normal, probably burning the flood out that I did because it smellled rich. Now after driving it a bit it bucks while under load, accelerating. I can rev the idle up in neutral and its fine, its just under load, accelerating.
Ideas?
