Hello all,
1985 D150 2wd 5.2l 2bbl automatic
About a month ago I came here asking a similar question with a similar problem. The culprit was the coil, as some folks here said.
Less than 24 hours after replacing the coil, something very similar is happening. It's running like garbage, but like a different kind of garbage than when the coil was bad. I already checked the ballast resistor (two post type) and the ignition control module (4 pin type) which both checked good. I also put a new distributor cap and rotor on.
I'll check the new coil, it could just be a bad part. It ran perfectly for ~15 miles (all on the same day the coil was replaced). The next morning after a freeze, it was broke again.
I've linked a video of it running below, you may not be able to tell but it's doing a kachug-kachug kind of thing.
Also, if you give it some gas there's a metal clanking sound that comes up (around 10 seconds). It's a little faint on video but not in person.
