so im on the way back from picking up some olive garden for the fam

doing about 75 ~ 80 i put it in 5th
when i started up an incline my engine hickuped/hesitated/jumped
i backed off a bit and in 4th i had no issues
finally i get off and got into third no issues either
i got into my nighborhood
when i accelerated it did it again
it was really weird and scary cause i didnt want to have to push the sob cause i have a broken arm
any ideas on what to check first or what a sollution could be
and yes
i just put gas in so rule that out

scuba

anyone ?

gametom

loose coil wire?
cloged fuel filter?

that's the first two thing that come to my mind you need to determin if it's a fuel or spark issue

scuba

coil wire ??
where would i find that ??
and fuel filter..
same as above
im really clueless about most of these things...
but im slowly learning

Coil wire is the wire that goes from the distributor to the coil. Look for a circular thinger with 5-7 wires from it. Check connections on both sides of all wires.

Fuel filter should be inside of frame rail on passenger side. May be hidden. Look for fuel lines clamped to the rail.

Good luck!

scuba

well ill go take a look at the coil
as far as the fuel filter
how would i know if it was bad ??
ill update soon
thanks jason

For what its worth you could change the filter regardless.

Pull the filter and dump it out of the inlet side maybe even blow in the outlet side and see what the fuel looks like coming out. I put a container under it to collect the fuel and it came out brown with lots of dirt, rust, etc.

scuba

well all the wires and things coming from the distributor looked good no tears or anything

i found the fuel filter
but as my dad says
the fuel pump and fuel filter are new

as i was searching for the fuel filter though
i found this

any ideas ??

Yeah, you need to ground that to the stud with the nut on it you see about 3 inches behind that wire on the intake in that picture. If it wont go to that one there is another one not showing in the picture, so ground it to that.

scuba

i figured
just checking though

well since the fuel filter is new
anyone else got any ideas ??

EWAYota

Just about to tell you to check your grounds. Good chance thats the issue.

scuba

see thats the thing
im pretty sure thats been off since i got the truck
and now this issue

A real easy solution to that hickuping ish is to swap a 3.0 in there. The best couple bucks you could ever spend!

ozziesironmanoffroad

check your electrical. wait a second, did you say 75 to 80MPH with a 22RE??
on an INCLINE??? i can get mine up that fast on FLAT road with NO incline, can max it out goin downhill. whats your secret?

MMA_Alex

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah if you like replacing head gaskets.

scuba

lmao for the record i was already at about 75 before i was approaching the incline

yeah
i like the simplicity of the 22re with timing chain and all
i've never replaced a headgasket
some day im sure ill be forced to

my secret.....the elbow mod
ha
but seriously

i grounded that wire
took it for a spin
and it never hickupped
but the again
i didnt get it warm
it seems like this only happens when its plenty warm
i deff wanna get this thing solid before i venture on a 1200 some odd mile move back to california
with that said
any more export oppinions ??

EGR may be starting to stick, try checking codes. see if you got any stored.

scuba

scuba

hmm
im completely down to try anything
but i could use a little help
thats why im here
that being said
anyone know how to check codes??
im not trying to be a PITA or sound like a D hole
but i would certainly like to get this straightened out
