Well my truck let me down today, damn good thing i did not get hit t-bone style also thanks to it crapping out
![]()
in the middle of a INTERSECTION 4TIMES...
Got 1700 miles on it, coming home on the express way, get to my exit stop, (no traffic light, just a stop sign)wait for the 10 cars in front of me to get through the intersection, i get up to go, look both ways, cars far enough away to pull out (especially with juice!) hit the pedal, truck goes out to about half way across the rode and DIES. Turn the key starts right up, hit the gas, DIES?? turn key fires right up, hit pedal DIES, fires back up hit pedal, DIES... Ok fire it up, let it idle in drive to get across the street and out of the way of the 15 cars that are now backed up both ways and pissed that my truck is road BLOCKING both directions of travel, figures it was a slightly up hill intersection so the truck barely limped off the road. All guages looked fine, hit the gas a few times in park and it almost died every time i hit the pedal, got mad after of this a few times and floored it and it finally reved up, let it idle, hit the gas reved fine, put it in drive and drove the rest of the way home no problem??
So what gives with my truck???????????
i got home atfer it started running right and thought maybe crap fuel, its down to half tank and ran fine before that, pulled out my bottle and hose and connected it to the filter drain and opened the filter drain, no water, no crud, just pristine looking fuel. Odd part was when i opened the bleeder screw BEFORE i opened the drain it blew air pressure out, not tons but a quick hiss??? Found that to be odd?? seems somehow air got in the system, totally stock system no mods don't know how it would get air. If it had air why would it start fine every time, but yet die every time the pedal was hit??
Any ideas would be helpful!!!
