Well here's the problem buds. 2 days ago my truck had a hard problem starting in the cold. well i sprayed some starter fluid in the carb like i do on real cold days and for some reason it finally started but only on 3 cylinders. well after about 30secs it switched over to 4 cylinders and sounded good again. so i drove it for 2 days straight and finally yesterday i'm driving home and i start losing power in certain gears. first it was 4th, then i would only drive in 3rd, then 2nd and right before i pulled into the driveway it backfired. It felt like it was hesitating and jerky and losing power in those gears. So now its sitting in the driveway and I dont know what the problem is. Any ideas? Could using the starter fluid alot on cold days be a factor? I'm lost.

thanks,
Paul

 

Check the simple things first, start with the fuel filter, when was the last time it was changed ?.
