Bucking Pickup follow up
Hello;
I posted a message a while back about my truck. It has a driveability problem that I can't get a handle on. The truck will idle roughly and buck and cough on acceleration. Check engine light does not come on. Makes it a real pain to drive! Then the problem will clear up mysteriously for a short time and then return. 89 Isuzu Pickup 2WD 5-Speed 2.3L 2bbl. carb 135K miles mech fuel pump rebuilt carb, new dist cap, rotor, plugs, wires, have swapped out the ignition coil with no results, tested compression (low), replaced timing belt, set ignition timing, checked fuel pressure (little low ) 3.5 normal - 3.0 tested The truck ran fine when I started it today so I took it for a 12 minute run around the neiborhood. It ran perfectly (good idle and smooth acceleration with no bucking) until I got home and then started to idle roughly and stall when I stopped in the driveway. Does the fact that the truck will run perfectly at times tend to point to a electrical problem? Something heating up and then malfunctioning? If so should it not run fine again when this part cooled off? It does not! If it were a fuel or vacuum problem would it not run lousy all the time? (mechanical fuel pump) Any suggestions on what to look for or how to further test for a solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated! |

Maybe you've got a carb problem? My race car had a sticking float from trash in the float bowl that would cause the carb to literally overflow. It's also about the only thing on the list you haven't replaced... |
