Pull the stored code and see what that tells you:

Hint: The link above tells you how to do that...

 

how do i find out the code?

 

Click on the link that 4crawler posted and follow the instructions.........

 

dont really understand it. I thought it was easy as pluging in a computer or something.

 

The computer is already in the vehicle, you stick in the "scan tool":


And read the flashes on the CEL:

Thanks guys, I came up with got it working and I counted i think , the code 52 which is ...

52
KNOCK SENSOR SIGNAL--OPEN OR SHORT IN KNOCK SENSOR SIGNAL
--KNOCK SENSOR/CIRCUIT

ECU

 

where is the kock sensor on the motor?

 

The knock sensor is between the heads. You have to pull the air intake chamber and the intake manifold to get to the knock sensor. If you're going to do that, then replace the knock sensor wire while you're in there. They get brittle over time.

If you search hard enough on here, you'll find links to a copy of the service manual for your truck (like this one). If you search even harder, you'll find the link to the actual section you need to get everything out of your way to get to the knock sensor (like this one). Your questions have all been answered on here many times.
