Hey all,
I took my truck in to get the trans serviced, it shifted badly between 2nd and 3rd.
While the shop was testing the trans, they said it suddenly showed Check Engine, and started to run bad, so bad it was shuddering and they couldn't drive any further.
I had it towed home, and it barely starts unless you floor the gas pedal. Once it starts, it shakes, it's missing, does not rev up properly, barely idles, wants to stall, has no power and stalls as soon as you try to put it into gear.
To me, it feels like the timing is bad.
I will get a chance to look at it better tomorrow.
No sign of oil leaks, no funny ticking or clunks even at 2000 rpm. The trans shop had to remove the oil filter, the oil level is up, the oil pressure is good. I found 1 vacuum line not connected so far.
I am going to check the spark plug wires are routed properly, and the distributor cap for starters. They did remove and replace the trans, so who knows what they did up near distributor / behind the intake.
I saw and read how to check the Camshaft position sensor, will give that a try.
