My truck ran fine yesterday and today, i went away
for about an hour and when i jumped in to move it

ethanol gas is causing an issue but i honestly dont
know

No its a 4L 2.0 not a 6 and ive done plugs wires cap and rotor and oil change and it has a carter 1bb carb not a 2bb or a 4bb its a 2.0 L4 122cid 1989cc engine carb YFA part # 7-7762 carter at this point the plugs are fouled black i believe it is a weak valve cover gasket however several other opinions believe it is the result of ethanol gas in the tank setting and ive acquired a rebuild kit and after this if it hasnt made a change i will do a valve cover set overhaul
