Running issues

[sirhk100]

Well, last night was interesting. I had the fuel pressure gauge hooked up and zip tied in place to see right. I pull into a mini market, walk out, fire it up and it does it! YES, my chance to see what it reads right? Well, the kicker, my ebrake isn't functional. I have too much suspension travel in the rear for the ebrake cable to travel so it's gone. Crap!!!! I can't hop out and look what it's doing while it idles in N cause it's going to roll on me. So while it's stumbling and barely running I proceed to let it coast backwards into the spots behind me with a curb for the tires to rest against. I get it set, pop the hood hop out and as soon as I hop out the idle kicks up and it starts purring smooth as can be. DARN IT!!! I worked it's way thru the stumble and cleaned up before I could get there to see it! UGH!!! LOL SOON I WILL GET A FUEL PRESSURE READING! LOL

Is the computer picking up fault codes for the misfire?

I'm starting to think, coil pack, bad plug or wire, ICM.

BTW, that was the first time it was able to work it's way thru it and clean up and run right.

I'll try to pull codes on it this morning. I've never been able to get my reader to do it so I'll try the manual method. Just need to search and read up on how to do it, it's been a long time...

What kind a reader do you have?

Loose injector connection maybe?
