Ass deep in some fuel injectors now, been playing the "code 0304? Hmmm... swap coil, swap wires, swap plugs, buy cleaner, cross fingers hurr durr.." game for a few months. Halfway done, fingers crossed again. :pop2: Edit: Done.. freekin WOW. Amazing how sluggish and slow it had become. I did...

Good info, thanks. I'll have to check that out. UPDATE: Couldn't find a sensor fuse so I just checked them all, they're all fine, none broken. Checked all of the fuses inside as well, they're all good.

I also took a rubber hammer and beat on the cat for a few minutes. Aside from getting a little louder it doesn't seem to have changed anything. :D

Miss came back, but only when the engine has warmed up. Bummer is that I can't tell which cylinder is missing because it won't throw a code. I don't think it's an injector because when it's missing, and I get on the gas, I get a flashing CEL, which means (correct me if I'm wrong) that there is...

Long story short, I developed a 0304 code: misfire in cyl 4. So I checked around, looked at some service records, turns out I hadn't done plugs and wires for 3 years. Did those, the gap on the plugs was hilarious. The misfire went away but then I got two more codes: 0135 and 0141. O2 sensors. I...

That name.... the avatar........ You seem... familiar. :sniper:

Truck started coughing with sputtering on the way home the other day. Did the plugs and wires about 2 years ago but didn't do the coil packs at that time. Changed them out today along with plugs and a fuel filter, seems to be running fine now but I'll get a longer drive in later tonight. If that...

Anyone using one of these? If so, how do you like it? Read codes, clear codes, save you money on your junker? My baby started intermittently sputtering and misfiring last night. CEL flashing, then stops. Idle is all wonky. :crybaby: I did the plugs and wires about 2yrs ago but not the coil...

Alright so it's well past 2am on a Tuesday morning and for whatever reason, I decided to read every post in here. Man, what a great thread. Coffee is way outside the box with great results, respected longtime vets of the forum are calling BS, Coffee is sticking to his guns, the vets are...

Yep, that's the one. Less expensive that many of the more popular brands AND it's a perfect lead in to the "jeez babe, we really need a welder" talk with the wife. :rockon:

The broken bolt next to the stripped bolt on my trans pan can testify to this.

I am enjoying this thread for a multitude of reasons.

Oil change and grease u-joints. Diff breather mod and wheel seal job coming this weekend. Tough working a more than full time job, running a business, being a dad and building your daily driver but no excuses. Elk season ain't gonna wait.

Needs a huge white star on the door.

Very interested in the outcome of this one as my 2000 is doing the same thing but worse. I can hear that godawful coasting chirp in my sleep, fellas. :crazy:
