okay, lot of crap on my brothers truck in the past week.
tuesday his truck started vibrating horribly and smelled terrible. his catalytic converters were clogged so we have them cut off as a *temporary* solution we have new ones ordered.
now it was miss firing we changed out the coil pack and wires no more miss firing (the spark plugs were a year old). but now it vibrates when idling and when maintaining speed not accelerating just enough gas to stay up to speed.. it has always idled at about 1100 rpm. any idea what could be causing this problem we havent run a diagnostic on it yet which i know, cant help you guys much, we bought a code reader and it is en-route.
any thing else we could try? we have heard it maybe the IAC valve or the MAF not sure how to clean either. our next step after that would be to replace the fuel injectors. but we dont want to have to do that mainly because we dont know how. but im sure we could do it.
any ideas guys?
