All the tips are great!! I have removed the "pos' side of battery. Didnt re-learn anything.
The truck is still hesitating and popping..when I accelerate sometimes..but acts like its fluttering,doggin,no pickup at cruising speeds. Even if the speed limits is 30 mph.
Still showing "no codes" with monitor. HELP!!!

Did you remove your TB?
Did you reconnect all the plugs? if you took the MAP sensor off, did you get that little tiny vac tube hooked back to the TB, the big tube connected to the TB under the MAP sensor? Did you reconnect the throttle linkages correctly? did you accidentally disconnect the Coolant temp sensor?
Well see I was inside the engine bay (i had to use a three step lader lol.) And i opened the TB and i saw oil but im not sure if its blow by, Cosidering that the K&n filter seemed to have blow by oil all around it, Its the kind that sits on top of the motor. But is the TB cleaning that hard? Like how long should it take?
minor blow by should be expected, although it should not show on your filter, and though ive never taken a tb off, its not that hard, id compare it to changing spark plugs.

Yes Im sure I hooked everything up right. Coolant temp sensor??Where is that located?? I will go back in and look around. I did remove and clean the TB. It was hesitating,popping and just sluggish before I cleaned the TB. Thought maybe a good through cleaning would of sloved it,but it didnt.
Thanks

the coolant temp sensor is a little 2 wire sensor that goes into the water jacket right next to the big coolant tube that comes off the top center of the engine.

This sounds like a majorly blown plenum gasket, bad o2 and clogging cat. I'm surprised there is no misfire codes.
Thanks Zman-Squirrels-- someone else suggested a bad cat and 02 sensor.
I did have a monitor on it and didnt show any codes. Think I will start with the easiest and go from there.
