Not exactly a Dodge question...Engine issue's.???
 
So my terd of an Exploder gets beat on locally and the past few weeks when i go out to start it for the first time of the day it idles super rough. After about 20 seconds or so it clears right up. WTF? i was initially thinking that maybe valve seals were leaking and that was causing the hesitation, but there's no smoke at all out the tailpipe??? It's got 87kmi
I just did complete tune-up including fuel filter.

Anyone got any ideas? I'm not gonna spens too much time on this POS. if I can't figure it out from my computer then it aint gettin fixed...lmao Seriously.:icon_shrug:

Too much work!


It just started doing it. i have ran 3 tankfuls of Lucas Injector cleaner to clean out the injectors and valves. i'll do some seafoam and see what happens. I may even record the smoke show? people driving by my house will think....Yup..FoundOnRoadDead lol.

yup sounds like you need to sea foam her dogg

Sounds like either an injector is leaking down while sitting fouling the plug, or sticking and not firing for a bit when cold.

Yup.....the puddling fuel could just be causing an extremely rich condition until it burns out too. Which engine do you have in the ferd dirty?

If it's the modular v8 it could be the EGR is starting to stick.
