And OH MY GOODNESS!!! It was chaos! It sounded like it had a huge cam, barely started and idled and was spewing black smoke from the tailpipe. And it was smoking from the TBI. It was a pretty terrifying experience for my truck's life.

All I was trying to do is clean the MAP sensor, and I got that insanity. It sounded pretty cool actually. But I'm pretty sure more than a few minutes of that would probably spell death or damage.

And the moral of the story is . . . always plug back in everything you unplug before you test your truck, unless you know its totally unessential. Or else you might crap your pants.

 

Things like this deserve a video to show.

 

There will be no video from me, unless of course somebody gets me a demonstration vehicle. It was smoking out the TBI, so probably not so good.

 

Sorry didn't mean to infer that you should try to do it again. I meant that a video of it happening would have been interesting to see.

 

I know. I wish I could make a video. But I'm too skeered.

 

A video would be nice but it will also be better to not have to title it "Now I need a new engine"
