Intermitten rough running engine.

My truck seems to run rough from time to time. Doesnt matter if the AC compressor is running as it occurs whenever.

If it is stumbling, even getting it good and warm doesnt seem to cure it. What does cure it is shutting it down and starting it up again.

Like I noted, this is an intermitten problem and is slightly noticable and definitely curable. Almost like the choke being not fully open. I also have a slighly noticable black exhaust color on acceleration when this symptom occurs.

Any answers or suggestions.

Thanks a bunch.

Re:Intermitten rough running engine.

perhaps a sticky injector caused by software and its being reset after a restart...sounds like time for a warranty visit

Re:Intermitten rough running engine.

I agree with a bad injector. They should be able to hook that sucker up to the computer and know what is going on.

I would take it in and have it checked before the inj sticks wide open.
