Ok my driveway is straight downhill then curves out flat into the garage...MY g/f parks in the garage and i park just behind the garage door...its just flat enough formy truck to sit level.....Welll friday i crunk my truck to back it up the hill , but didnt turn the ignition long enough and it choked, then i turned it again and i fired right up....

I let my g/f pull her car out and pulled into the garage, i thought i pulled up far enough but the gargae door wouldnt shut...I crunk my truck up just for like 2 sec to back it up about 2 inches.....

Well yesterday i backed my truck out and WHEN I STARTED IT UP IT WAS SHAKING LIKE A SOME BITCH.....I didnt know what to do. so i cut it off and started it up, again it idled rough...Well i gunned it up my steep driveway and onto the road above...once i did that its fine now...no more rough idle???

Anyone know why it wouldad done that...Kinda acted like it was partially flooded but i dont beleive EFI cat be flooded..
 
that rough idle sounds like a misfire. Mine does the same thing every so often, on every startup, for one day, then it quits for a month or two then its Rinse, Wash, Repeat.

Usually it'll startup fine, then start missing like nuts, and as soon as I move FORWARD, it'll quit and run fine after that.

I'm not sure what causes it yet, I only know that its been happening to me off and on for more than two years now... doesn't seem to hurt anything, its just really annoying.
 
alrighty then...thank you for your reply....glad somone could tell me something..Got kinda scared for a sec there, more or less juggling how much money this one might cost....
