Hey all, I have a 1989 W150 with the 5.2. Sorry for the long post but here’s the whole story:
Bought the truck from a “dealer”, ran fine for a couple months (driving into town a couple times, that’s all). It didn’t have much power so I figured I’d change the plugs, wires, and do an oil change. After this I drove it into town and then wouldn’t start after I came out of the store. Had it towed home, let it sit for a couple days, fired it up and ran fine, drove it around a little, shut it off at the store again, and wouldn’t start again when I came out so had it towed home.
Since those incidents it has barely ran at all, very rough idle and very rich, almost straight gas smell from exhaust.
I’ve replaced almost every sensor in the engine bay, IAT, MAP, throttle position sensor, O2 sensor, catalytic converter, as well as fuel pump, fuel filter, and injectors (I’m sure there’s more but can’t think of it at the moment)
The truck will idle much “better” when I have the intake off, once I put it on it won’t start at all.
CEL codes basically say the battery was disconnected and something about the torque converter.
Any ideas? It has been driving me absolutely nuts
