Ok I'll check that out as well. I just hope I don't have anything big like a bad piston ring. I have only had the truck for a couple months before it started acting up.

 

Oh and I forgot to mention that it seems like a lean miss.

 

Try swapping injectors on cylinders 5, and 7, see if your miss moves.

 

I did that now. I'm gonna try and start it. Before when I had it started it wouldn't miss at higher rpms just at idle.

 

Would putting a new pick up coil in make you have to reprogram your timing with a scan tool?

 

Nope.

 

I keep getting told I have to resynchronize it, and I've never heard of that.

 

The sensor is what you are replacing, the metal part that triggers the sensor is going to stay on the distributor, you don't replace that. Sensor only fits one way, but, there are probably some manufacturing differences from part to part, but, I can't see that changing fuel sync by more than 1 or 2 degrees. That's well within tolerance for the PCM to deal with.

Change the sensor, see how it runs. If it *seems* better, but, still not-quite-right, have fuel sync set. Most any good shop can do it, and shouldn't cost more than a half hour labor.

 

I got it started, just seems to be chugging. Don't know if I need to adjust the distributor or what.

 

How old is the gas? Is it just missing on one or more cylinder? Might just need to run it some, to *clean things out*... kinda....
