I was just wondering if you all can come up with some more things that i could possibly check when i work on my truck this coming weekend.
When truck is warmed up to normal operating temp it seems to want to mess with the rpms. It will jump back and forth from 500 too 800 when at idle. I am also not sure if all my power it there or not.
I have ran some injector cleaner through it and changed plugs and wires.
This weekend i was planning on checking the fuel pressure, running some sea foam threw the break booster vacuum line, and cleaning my IAC.
I am thinking the injectors might be gunked up as they have never been cleaned or removed in its 150k miles and also my number 5 cylinder seams to always be wet. however i just dont want to remove the injectors or pay for some new ones if i can eliminate some other possible problems first.
I would do a compression test but not really a point since the engine block was rebuilt maybe 10k ago.
thanks for your time and ideas
I also will get an engine light if the truck idles for long periods of time however when i give it gas the engine light will leave. KOER test gets me a code 41. I think it deals with engine running rich and o2 sensor but i changed the o2 sensor recently
