What's up guys, It's been a while since Ive posted. Just been super busy all super and recently moved up to North Carolina and am attending Nascar Technical Institute and building race cars! Some know I was rebuilding my tranny and had a few problems with that but I got it all situated and have been loving it, going nice and strong. Recently in the past two weeks the hoe has developed another problem though and it seems rather tricky. I'll try to describe as best I can with all details, feel free to ask specific questions.
Basically I have an intermittent misfire or skip throughout the whole RPM range. It doesn't do it when I first fire the truck up, regardless if the engine is already warm or still cold and I drive for 5 to 10 minutes and then it will start to misfire predominantly under stress. It doesnt seem to do it at all if Im just free reving the engine but under a load it does. It's not constant and it doesnt backfire or make any noise, my engine sounds very clean and tight.. There is a good lack of power at all times it seems now and there are not any engine lights on at all with any codes but I havent had a good scan tool on it yet. It's really noticable at stop when its in gear. When not skipping, it idles very smoothly and purs but when it starts skipping you can really feel it rumble and shake. Also, when the TC is locked up over 50mph and it skips you can reallyyyy feel it skip, kinda jerks you forward for a split second.
Thats all the details I can think of, feel free to ask more and I can get a video of it if you guys think it'd help. Where do I start diagnosing this thing?? What are some things I can look at and start testing? I havent done anything to the truck at all except put new spark plugs in when it first started skipping (they were pretty damn bad). Thank you guys and I look forward to being on the forum more often now!
