Hey,
so problem after problem that comes up on my truck, I try to address each one accordingly..
Recently I've been having an issue where the car is surging very frequently and rhythmically.
At a complete stop in gear, the car surges "vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom" and the RPMs quickly rise and drop repeatedly maybe 50RPMs.
Once driving, I can't really feel the effects of this.
Now, I believe these two issues to be related...
I also am having a hard time killing the engine.
When I turn off the key, it diesels.... (engine knocking and shaking the entire Ex trying as hard as possible to not turn off it seems..)
I have tried waiting like 30 seconds to see if it eventually dies, but it just won't...
to get around this problem, I simply turn the electronics on and the engine begins purring right away again... then I turn the key off again.
It takes like 6-7 attempts before I finally get the engine to shut off.
When it does.... it's strangely accompanied by the sound of a school bus coming to a stop. Like a big release of air coming from underneath the hood.. and then it stinks really bad like burnt exhaust.
but no visible signs of anything harmful..
and that's it. I park the car and go home!
I'd like to fix this problem though, so any ideas are greatly appreciated!
