Hello,
Just bought this truck knowing it had a hesitation, but had no idea it was as bad as this!! When accelerating from a dead stop you can only give it a little bit of gas to get it going. Takes forever to get it past 45mph. If you give it too much gas the idle goes up and down like your choking it. If you floor it the engine cuts out completely like you just turned the throttle all the way down on a snowblower.... take your foot off the gas and it pitters and patters for a couple seconds before cutting back in. I'm guessing it has something to do with how much gas is being delivered to the engine... or I could be wrong. Any suggestions?? ALSO: appears to be slow oil leak coming out of the intake manifold where it's connected to the engine.... valve seals??? Thanx.
