My truck starts acting like its misfireing?
When the truck is cold it runs perfect… Then after about five ten min it start skipping and losing power and sometimes won't idle and you give it gas and it starts poping and backfiring. And after it warms up it won't get above 2800 rpms its a 88 ford f 150 302 I put a fuel pump tank and filter doing the same the plugs have about 7000 miles on them
For a simple free, test. Pop the distributor cap off, wipe the inside with a paper towel to remove carbon tracking & moisture.
- I took my truck my truck to ford to fix a very loud noise and when I Get it back same its the same? I spent eight hundred and something dollars to get this fixed they said I should replace two of them the front and back so they can have the same life span so I forked out another 400 bucks but now when I go home and has the same noise when I turn now they're trying to sell me a wheel bearing for two hundred buckS, its been 5 days what should I do
- Ford 300 starts smoking from oil cap after 1 minute of runtime and radiator smells like a wet fire pit? It was running fine then it started acting hard to start off and smoking a little so I figured oil. Put some more in and it straightened up for a mile or so then started acting up worse. It began to have a knocking noise like an old diesel tractor. I don't understand what it is because it starts up just fine but won't run for more than a minute before it starts pudding and knocking. Also there are tiny pieces of rust chunks in the radiator and it smells like a wet fire pit.
- 1995 Ford F150 starts but acts like it runs on 1 or 2 cylinders? It either dies after a several seconds or it idles smoothly after several seconds. Pushing the gas pedal does nothing. Wtf is this?
- Gas gauge not working and car acting up? My car ran out of gas because my gauge said I had a quarter of a tank when obviously I didn't (grrr!) Anyways I put about 3 gallons of gas in my tank and when I start my car, it's idling extremely low and when I go under 15 or 10 mph it dies. Once I get going steady (25-45mph) it's fine. Is this normal for a car that has been run out of gas? What could be wrong? Maybe I picked up the trash thats in the bottom of the tank? Help? Anyone? Suggestions? (1999 Ford Escort SE)
