Severe miss under load. Solved!
I did a search and am in the process of working out the problem. I was on my way to work this morning and had to stop at a light. When the light changed I accelerated normally I didn't even hear the s/c whine. Out of nowhere the motor started shaking like crazy. I got off of the throttle and coasted and the stumble went away. I can keep a constant speed going down hill and no stumble, but as soon as I start up the hill it starts shaking. The first thing I checked was the vacuum lines, I have one that likes to come off every now and then. They were all connected. After I deleted the E.G.R. I replaced all of the rubber vacuum connectors. Then I looked for a blown plug even though I didn't hear a pop, but all of the coil packs were firmly bolted down. I limped the truck home and let it cool off and pulled the plugs thinking if a c/p went bad the plug would show it. The plugs were a little too white for my taste, but still had a brown tint. I filled up about 1 1/2 weeks ago and the first half of the tank burned fine. The fuel filter has around 3k on it. I went to Orilleys this evening for new TR6's and a new filter. I will put them on tomorrow and see if there is any improvement.
I was wondering if there is anything I am overlooking. Something else that could be causing this problem.
Thanks.
I am borrowing my father in-law's 4.6 F-150 :cryying: until I can fix the problem so I can still get to work.
