lol. well. my trucks got a nice weird problem now that its picked up. doesnt happen all the time, and i can usually get it to work anyways, but here it is.

every once in a while when i go to start it up, it'll start and even turn over fine, but if i dont get on the gas it wont start. its actually started before for about 3 seconds and then died.

the symptoms are- occasional smell of gas, not starting.

so the question is, should i just drive it off a cliff, or is there something i can do to eliminate the problem without violence.

rether then drive it off a cliff you should place a brick on the gas so the brick drives it off the cliff and not you

dijlop

too safe. any better ideas?

find a really tall cliff and wear a parachute, and bring a camcorder just for good measure.

oh wait, we are in florida where there are no cliffs, find a large pier and drive it off that

how about figure out where the smell of gasoline is coming from...maybe you have a leak somewhere, fuel lines are known to rot, in nj they usually rot out and need a full replacement, id be suprised to see that in florida tho...

dijlop

yea. im gonna have to check out all the lines and electrical stuff. of course im gonna be smart about it and check the battery first. lol.

btw, i have a manual tranny. thatd have to be one smart brick...

is the truck throwin any codes or do u think its only in fuel delivery?

dijlop

no idea. never rly had any problems. where would i look for this code? the check engine light isnt ever on to my knowledge. im rly not sure what the problem is. id like to find out though. lol.

btw, it works fine 99% of the time. it'll start right up. its just every once in a while it takes a lot longer than normal.

If I can get codes its easy. Take a paperclip a unpainted one and unfold it. Now stick it into the or you can go to:

tie one end of a chain to the front bumper and the other end to a large tree then put a brick on the gas pedal and aim it at a jump....... then film it and post a new thread

dijlop

actually sounds sweet. i'll do it. ur buyin me a replacment 4wd pu right? i'll even throw in the rights to the video.

my trucks check engine light would come on when i had a problem then go off but the code is stored until u clear them. its all in the manual

dijlop
