..I think I may have bought chumpy gas or something. I run nothing but 93 octane in my truck. I have a 93 3.9. Well My truck runs fine but...when I start it ..it doesnt idle it sounds like this... BRUMMMMMMMMMM ppooot and thats it. It starts then it dies cause it isnt obtaining enough rpms. Its happend before but I rode it until it stopped.

my 97 had that problem for a while, (underwarranty) I took it in and it had a vacume leak, blew the intake gasket I think it said. Also, last night I pulled the IAC selenoid out and cleaned it like it said to on speedtweaks.com and it gave it smoother idle. I heard that using that 93 octance creates more carbon build up in the engine then 88, and thats what your cleaning off your IAC selenoid. Hope this helps.

Well...If I dont use that 93 octane my valves clatter. So I use the exspensive stuff. I dont have a manifold blown gasket. Its not a rough idle, but! It starts and dies like the rpm goes up and then it goes down. I might try and change my injectors.

if its reving and then dying try getting a new intake gasket. when i replaced my TB i mistakenly put the old gasket back on, (i left the new one sitting right next to it), so when i turned it on she'd start but wouldn't keep an idle because the vacum was leaking. so check that and check all ov your hoses and such. a new gasket isn;t that expensive so jsut pick up a new one. try that. but it deffinity sounds like a vacum leak. but thats jsut my two cents
