Serous misfire!
One night my truck starting misfiring. It seems like its only misfire on one cylinder. It turns out after a 40 mile drive the IAT adjuster was all the way cold. So I turned it off after I shut off my truck. Started back up, and it still was misfire. It’s been two days now
And its only getting worse! It barely runs now. WTF is it?
Changed out the plugs 2,000 miles ago and opened the gap to .50 from .45. Not really think it’s the plugs, but then again I have no idea. When I swapped the plugs I threw in a new cap and rotor. I also just hit around 80k miles.
My truck was pinging about a week ago so I started putting 89 octanes in it instead of 87.
Its been running fine except for the last couple days since the IAT incident. It also threw a TPS code and another one not sure maybe 0120 0531. Something to do with circuit malfunction.
Any Idea’s guys?
now you know thats..................

Did you do the TPS mod? You may want to check it with a meter because it may have somwhow come out of adjustment. Just a thought.

Well i did the TPS mod a while back and had the sensor go bad on me. I then had it replaced.
I have the v8 TB, do i need the v8 tps? Its just a resistor right?
I am going to replace the plugs today gapped back at 45 to see if that helps
now you know thats..................
