Just had engine rebuilt.

Got it running well, after replacing cracked fuel lines, setting timing etc etc...

Now after 400kms, something happened. I started up after a short trip and my truck started running like shiet.

- standing idle fell to 400rpm from 900rpm
- no power, could barely get to work this morning
- very loud burp in exhaust (sounds like a motorbike)

did a quick check of wires and cap, nothing seemed to be loose

This was an instant change ie running well when I shut off, runs like crap when restarted 15 minutes later

Any ideas?

Thanks

 

Explain this burp in the exhaust a little better. Could it be a miss? whens the last time you changed your plugs and wires?

 

Did the timing slip? If the hold down was not tightened enough, it could rotate a bit leading to the symptoms you describe. Easy to check anyways...

 

Spark Plug Wires, Timing, etc?

 

Thanks guys...

It was missing. Somehow one od the wires got cut in half. Thionk a rock or ice chip flew up through the engine bay as no skid plate right now.

Back to running like normal... well sort of
