so cam sensor looks good, cap not so good but not sure on every contact in the cap they all look like there has been arcing from rotor I'm assuming maybe to wide of a gap between rotor tip and contacts or a week spark same goes for rotor tip

 

Cheap China caps my friend had a problem with a few. Try and get a name brand if available. Only good name I found for my 2.5 was AIRTEX / WELLS premium on rockauto good quality caps. The problem I found is the rotor posts are only just barley long enough to do the job.

 

Did you check the (Distributor Ignition Pickup)???

 

yeah I did looked ok little bit of metal on the magnet nothing to write home about. cap and rotor cleaned looks like throne in the bottom pic long posts the truck ran like this before I did anything to it ??????

 

So no change still runs what bad, so so, what?


Wow this word kind of tossed me off a bit (throne)

 

Are you Shure it’s not just the weather?

Like my 2.5 it just will not run at its best in the peak of summer time June, July and Aug she runs like crap in the heat and high humidity nothing will change that it’s a fact summer means a poor running engine for me I hate it.

Just this week the high heat has dropped down and the monsoon season is finished that she is running good and strong again.

 

the word was the one. no when I bought the truck it ran the way it is still running. maybe a little better but not much. like I said it runs fine down the road just has a rough idle in gear and park it just bothers me that I can't figure it out

 

Well I’m thinking on taking some time off from the forum so I hope you find your gremlin.
