Have you had a fuel pressure guage on it when it stumbles and afr jumps up? If so, does the pressure stay steady? My thoughts are, if you were loosing pressure, ie. a bad pump, etc. that would cause it to go lean.

I should add, I don't drive this truck very much...every few months. I'm sure the gas is oldish, and I'm thinking maybe from sitting, one of the injectors is gummed up? |
So, thought I'd update on what I found, and what happened to the truck:
The stumbling issue turned out to be a few things: - cracked vacuum line to MAF - three plug wires that were arcing due to high heat exposure at the turbo - fuel pump was intermittently shorting out at the sending unit pigtail So, after replacing the fuel pump assembly, new set of wires and fixed the vacuum line, she ran like a bat out of hell. So, I had a buyer lined up to pick up Dec 27th. I went on vacation last week out of the country, and on the 4th day, receive a call from our 23 year old son. He had broken into the garage, stole the syclone for a joy ride and wrecked it. If anyone knows these trucks, the cladding is unobtanium. Two steps forward, thirty steps back :( |
Your son stole the truck or the new buyer? Either way, I am really sorry to hear that.

Son, stole the truck. Buyer will in all likelihood back out. Can't say that I blame them.

Either that, or offer you significantly less for it...... Is insurance going to cover any of it? The Typhoon/Cyclones are becoming VERY hard to find.......

Robert, I am sorry to hear that. Most people have no idea how dangerous a 10 sec. vehicle is on the street. And before they know it, their in trouble. Hopefully there were no injuries, and hopefully it works out in the end for you.
|
Sorry to hear about the problem Robertmee. I hope the kid is OK.
|
Kid is fine....although I'd love to beat his a$$
