Cylinder 1-4 Misfire and EVAP Purge Flow Problems, help please
Hello,
A couple days ago I drove to the grocery store when everything was fine then when I came out I started my truck and instantly it started to chug. I just took it to O'Reilly and they ran a diagnostic and it had a Random Misfire on Cylinder's 1, 2, 3, and 4 and also had an EVAP emissions systems purge flow.
Its a 1996 Ram 1500 with the 5.9, AEM intake, and Flowmaster Exhaust. It also has 216,000 miles and the plugs and wires haven't been changed in about 5 years.
The guy at O'Reilly said that he thinks it is a vacuum leak, but my brother recommended changing the plugs, wires and distributor before I go get a vacuum test.
I was wondering what all you thought would possibly be wrong. I am hoping it is something I can fix because I am in my final year of college and really need this truck to last me.
Thanks!
Patrick
