6.9l Hesitation & Intermittent Rough Idle? Stumped
So today I checked my water separator for water, by draining a bit of fuel from it - I have the type that's in front of the driver side firewall.
Tonight I went for a quick drive and the truck started easy as always, but after idling for a while went in a cycle of revving up/down- like it wasn't getting enough fuel? Or like an o2 sensor was malfunctioning? Pah-****, pah-****, pah-****. Never died. And would stop doing it for minutes at a time. Revved on the pushof the pedal fine. Only hesitated once under power while driving.
Clogged fuel filter? I put a new one in like 500 miles ago?! I don't have a spare fuel filter so I can't just swap it now to figger if that's the source of the problem.
Does this have to do with me having bled diesel from the separator? Did I need to burp the system with the schrader valve after doing this?
I'm running 100% dino diesel.
