this issue popped up the other day, after driving around all day, I stopped at a store a mile from home, 20 minutes after stopping I get in and try to start her up. The engine barely starts, it's missing or not getting enough fuel, or something. I walked home, loaded a backpack with some tools, and rode my bike back to the truck. An hour after it wouldn't start right the truck started and ran perfectly. I drove it home- shut it off- tried restarting- same issue- barely running.
I replaced the ECT sensor today and drove around 12 miles, after stopping- same issue. truck barely starts.
When it is cold and i start it, it runs great, it idles smoothly in drive and park, plenty of power when i step on the gas.
But if it is warm i need to let is sit for an hour before i can start her up again.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Jeff
