Was driving great a couple of weeks ago, then it got a check engine light for a misfire P0305, so it had a misfire in cylinder 5, replaced the spark plugs, fired right up, was better on gas than before
Went to start it the next day and it moved but didn’t like any kind of throttle, if it went near 2000rpm it would almost choke and try to die
Then eventually it wouldn’t start without immediately stalling out
So I took the throttle body out and cleaned it and it could fire up again, but it was back to doing the odd thing of trying to stall if using any gas, so I left it to idle for about 10 minutes, that seemed to fix it, as it could drive normal again
I went to move the truck this morning and it was driving fine, it got stuck in deep snow so I got out and got ice down and shovelled. Now it’s starting up but stalling and dying quickly. What could be the issue?
Do I need a new throttle body?
Is it a clogged catalytic converter?
Bad battery? Although that’s relatively new
Starter is new
Alternator is new
Fuel pump is new
Has about half a tank of gas
Truck has 323,000km on it so it’s getting up in age
I’m not exactly a mechanic, I can follow stuff I find online, but I’m pretty well stumped at this point
