I got my truck back from the shop tonight from
them replacing my 180 deg t/s, checked computer,
ignition & fuel systems, distributor cap & rotor,
spark plugs & wires, fuel filter, 02 sensor, and
drilled out broken air cleaner stud in TB;
helicoil insert.

After getting in my truck and taking off from
each stop sign it would sputter like it was about
ready to die.

You said once I changed my plugs that it would act
different, so is this expected to happen for a
100 miles or whenever the comp adjust or should I
take it back and be concerned..? Thanks!

Not sure exactly what the problem is, but you might wanna check and make sure the plug wires aren't switched around somewhere...

It should not spit or sputter, something wrong
there

to cold will be doggie to hot good on low end but
bad for reving, not the plugs.

give it a 100 miles or so if it still does it take
it back to the shop they messed something up

They may have disconected the batt and its
relearning

Ok I brought my truck back to professional
automotive and the guy hooked it up to the comp
and monitored it.

Later looked and seen a spark coming out of the
#3 plug wire and he told me I had gotten a bad
plug wire set. So I headed back over to Autozone
and got a another new set of the Bosch premium
wire set, installed them and prob gone! Thanks
for the advice anyways.
