Default is my truck haunted?

Sometimes when i first start the truck it runs rough and rich. It has plunty of power and runs fine down the road. At the traffic lights its just a little rough but doesnt act as bad. Sometimes i will get a CEL for a few days. The CEL says p300 and sometimes p410 i think. I had the plugs, wires and gas cap changed. It helped some but not completely. I also have a clicking noise in the dash by the glove box, i think it might be the fresh air door in the a/c heating. But it's only clicking between 40 and 65 mph.

Thanks, at this time the cel is off. When it comes back on i will check to see for sure it is a p410. The imtermittent light is weird. It can go for a month at not show, then only last for a few days.

FYI codes are usually A letter and 4 digits... so we're all assuming you're talking about P0410 right now...

Yep P0410.
A question about using Sea Foam. Will it hurt to use the spray type Sea Foam in the throttle body while it's running? I do plan on adding it to the fuel tank.
Thanks, in advance.

My best advice is to use it as it directs you to on the can itself...

The bottle of liquid (non-spray) generally works better, but it's your truck and your call.
