take it easy bro, just being a little sarcastic... dont get defensive... No, here is the story... my CEL came on the monday, with the symptoms of a hard idle at starting/ stop lights and a chugging when accelerating... The code from the computer came back as a misfire in cylinder 1... so went through the usual suspects... spark plugs, wires, coils, even swapped coils to see if it would change cylinders, nope... plugs are new NGK platinums and the wires are fairly new. But the weird thing is that this hard idle and stuttering/chugging sensation out of the engine is not a full time issue, very intermittent... It will start rough and later the truck will run so smooth you wouldnt even know there was a problem. So I checked the fuel filter and it was definitely due for a change, all the fuel came out as brown as mud, tons of dirt.... That still didnt solve it, so I went to the MAF and throttle body, just to check and noticed some carb buildup, but the cleaning didnt get rid of it. Then the last issues I could think of are the ISC or the TPS and both of these checked out to be good on the readings. So last suspect would be the fuel injector, so I am checking the resistance on that.... So there ya go brotha, theres the whole story in a nut shell... So yeah no hard feelings on my earlier response back to you!
