- '97 XLT
My son complains that his '97 XLT 4.0 OHV occasionally stumbles or hesitates when he starts off at a light. It doesn't stall or die; it just doesn't jump when he gives it the gas. Then, about a half a second later, it goes and drives normally.
It's got about 120k on it and we've had it for over 30k of those miles. We've had the plugs and wires changed and the timing cover gasket and head gaskets changed and replaced the egr solenoid, but no other engine matters. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I might run some Techron through it while I ponder the problem. Suggestions? TIA
