Airborne school - 5/19/2008 2:14:56 PM    cplthomas   Posts: 89 Joined: 3/21/2008 Status: offline I am about to send my truck to airborne school!  I have seen this question posted before, hopefully this might become a stickey and get into detail.... I have the ever popular and dreaded 13,14 and 16 codes.  Took it to a mechanic (dealership) and they gave me an estimate (10k - smoking crack they are) and a list of things to fix.  I replaced the 02 sensors (all four), both cats (a new system form AB), coil pack (s), belt (drive), plugs, wires and filters.  Still have the problem and codes.  grrrrrr. It has the intermitent sputtering problem I hear all the cool rides are getting these days.  Just driving along, minding my own buisness and poof, crappy responce, crappy accelaration, crappy sounds.  Like the motor is under stress/load.  I can give it gas and get hardly a reaction....so I will continue driving, as this usually happens in a buisy intersection, and suddenly....well, more like progressively, the problem will go away and respond as it should, untill I come to another stop sign or light. Any ideas?  Mike???? < Message edited by cplthomas -- 5/19/2008 2:15:22 PM > Post #: 1

What gas are you using? Try changing brands. You are using premium, right? Sometimes its as easy as a different gas station. _____________________________ If it ain''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t leakin'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' it must be empty!

After that I would check the fuel pump. _____________________________ If it ain''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t leakin'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' it must be empty!

Chevron is good, I use Shell but we dont have Chevron's around here. _____________________________ If it ain''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t leakin'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' it must be empty!

Maybe this is all related and your fuel pump it going bad. _____________________________ If it ain''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t leakin'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' it must be empty!

RE: Airborne school - 5/19/2008 6:56:10 PM    Spike555 Posts: 4843 Joined: 6/22/2007 From: Grand Rapids MI Status: offline Could be, doubt it though. Usually when the cranksensor goes bad the trk just wont run. _____________________________ If it ain''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t leakin'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' it must be empty!
