Well, for the past week, maybe 2, my trucks been acting up. It only does it for the first 5 minutes or so of driving and it doesn't do it every time. I can feel the loss of power in the pedal and when I try to accelerate nothing happens. The RPM's stay where they are or drop slightly and I hear a popping sound, the whole truck jerks back and forth until I let off of the pedal.
To avoid the popping and jerking I let off the pedal and then get back on it a couple of times and it will eventually stop and the truck will drive normal the rest of my trip.
I installed new plugs, wires, coil, and cap and rotor when I installed the Hughes kit a couple months ago and haven't had any problems til now. I did look down into the intake to make sure it wasn't leaking and saw nothing. I changed my oil yesterday and noticed transmission fluid on the back of the oil pan, bell housing, and bottom of the transmission. I checked all the bolts on the pan and none were loose.
Sorry for the long post, just stumped right now.
