Any tips? I still have to search for a thread on this anyways as I have no clue what i'm looking to replace/fix lol. If it's fairly easy, i may tackle it this or next weekend. Give me an excuse to avoid the ol lady ;p
Tomorrow when I get back from the dump i'm going to look everything over that you all are suggesting. It was 33F here and the truck didn't want to start at lunch break. it took some throttle pedal to get it to go, then coughed up grey/black smoke when it finally ran.
Here's an interesting part. this is the first time it happened. High idle kicked down, waited a few minutes after that and started down the road. I just shifted into 3rd gear and it was accelerating fine, but it felt funny, like my foot wasn't on the pedal all the way..then it kind of coughed and acclerated like normal. been fine every since minus some more smoke merging on the highway (flat, unloaded, not a fast and furious style merging, just getting up to speed normally)
edit: ps. when its 50 degrees or more outside, it starts perfect everytime. cranks MAYBE second and she's off to the races. if that means anything to y'all
