Well, dang. Truck was problem free for 4 weeks. Today that ended. The engine started to stumble again so I pulled in to a parking lot, and there it died. I opened the hood and looked. I turned the key but didn't start the engine, I could hear that arching again, and the needle on the tack was jumping up and down. I jumped up on the truck and got in to the rear left side of the engine, where the sound is coming from. I stuck my hand in there to see if I could feel anything. It seemed to be an injector, but I can't say for sure.
The engine would not start, would crank but not fire. I was able to check for spark and I had spark. I noticed I could smell raw gas. I have already change everything on the ignition system. I checked for fuel pressure and I had it. It almost seems one, some, or possibly all the injectors were pulsing. Has me thinking a lot of gas got pumped in to the engine and flooded it. After a while I was able to get it started again and get home. So, what could cause the injector(s) to pulse and cause the tach needle to jump? |
PCM, or intermittent 12V (switched, or non-switched) going to PCM. Check wiring, fuses/sockets, and switched 12V relay for PCM.
I'm grasping at straws, as you can tell. |
You and me both. I'm starting to think a bad PCM, or perhaps a bad injector that is locking on and flooding.
