    questions about engine popping

    I replaced the plenum gasket along with the intake gaskets and my problem seems to have gotten worse. Forgot to check the plugs but doesn't anyone else have any ideas what might be causing this? About to just give up cut my losses and sell the thing.

    setting fuel timing

    Ok I have a small mechanic shop here in my town that I'm going to take it to because I'm pretty sure he has the computer. I just don't want to have to trailer it anywhere because after it warms up it wont run with a ****.

    Ya the intake manifold from the old motor has oil sitting in it so I know that gasket was bad. The new used motor I put in it didnt have any in it. But If I keep this truck long I will replace it before long. I usually just buy a truck fix some stuff on it drive it for a bit and then sell it.

    I'm guessing it its the factory cat and the old motor I pulled out of it had over 200k miles so I'm guessing that its got alot of carbon built up over the 15 years its been running. But ill try the sensor tomorrow just to be 100% sure its the cat. Thanks for all the help. And ill keep you guys...

    engine sputtering and popping

    so I let it warm up in my driveway and after it got to operating temp. I left it in park and it revved up to 3000 rpm just fine. I took it out and drove it and after a few minutes it started popping again. I drove it back home and put it back into park and it wouldn't rev up to 3000 rpm anymore...
