Hey everyone,
I've used these forums many times to help me out...but I can't seem to find a thread that applies to my engine.
I put my truck back on the road about a week and a half ago, it had been sitting for about a year. Now, here's my problem.
When I first started driving it again it ran fine, now gradually over the last few days it has started running extremely rich (in my driveway the truck almost disappears in a cloud of black) and sputters. Today I went to go to work, and it didn't want to start, finally it did but is wanting to stall like it's being choked. I have hardly no acceleration in any gear, but if I floor it in neutral it seems to clear up, once back under load the problem is back. WTF:banghead: I've read that it could be the O2 sensor, but IDK. Help with this would be the greatest thing since sliced bread.
