Hello All!
My truck has been acting weird of late.....After it sits for several days and i go to start it it chugs sputters until i give it more gas to bypass the chugging and sputtering....got misfires codes on several cylinders but plugs are less than 10 k old......cap and rotor are over 20k though....plug wires are a couple of years old.
exhaust has gassy smell while its acting up.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in Advance!!!!!!!!!!!

If you're not getting any codes, have your battery load tested. A weak battery will produce those symmptoms.

You're welcome. I have seen batteries suddenly die for no reason after 6 or 8 months. ust saying. Or a complete tune up is in order.
