I have a 1998 1/2ton with 267,000 miles. i am getting a number 2 cylender misfire code. It seems to do this most often in the winter time. I have changed the cap, rotor, plugs and wires and also the distrubter(sp) and I am still getting this code. when I am doing 55-60 mph, the tack is around 2,000. The truck will lunge and the tack will drop to about 600 rpm then jump right back up to 2,000. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance, Kyle

I would run a quick compression check on that cylinder and the ones next to it, to compare the numbers. If they are all close to the same, then I would suspect an injector problem. If you have access to a Tech2 you can do a cylinder balance test to check to see if that injector is pulsating correctly.

These were noted for cracked fuel lines going to the injector, most likely the problem.
