I have a '01 V-6 4x4 that I just had towed home. I was in heavy boulevard stop & go traffic when my truck felt like the engine was about to die. At each acceleration from traffic or a stop light I had to hit the gas pedal several times because the acceleration would die out and feel like it was about to stall on me. As I continued down the street it got worse and worse so I pulled into a parking lot.
With the truck idling I noticed it was jumping from 500 rpm to 1000 rpm still sounding like it wanted to die, but reving the engine like I was giving it gas. It was doing this steadily like once per second.
When I did give it gas it sputtered and when I floored the pedal there was a gargling sound almost like it wanted to backfire (can fuel injected vehicles backfire?). One last thing is when I went to the back of the truck the tailpipe was emitting a fast sputtering sound.
If anyone has any suggestions all are welcome.
