Question type: Maintenance & Repair
The truck will start up fine and run decent let it sit
and idle without revving engine and it will die I was
told the truck is getting 33% to much fuel I can
drive down the road and it will just shut out and
spit and sputter then just die not sure what the
issue is

I'm not to sure when the weather is warm it does it worse I can take off and it just dies and have no throttle response at all will idle really rough and just die then it will start right back up run fine and do it again
It has a new mass air flow sensor plugs wires fuel filter idk about fuel pump but it's like something is getting hot the throttle body has a crack in it but it's JB welded shut the person I bought it from did that I was told it could be that I can unhook mass air flow sensor and doesn't run any different
Crack in the throttle body??? That would make a huge vacuum leak and cause all your issues even if you JB welded it, which you never should have done in the first place.
Lol I didn't in weld it didn't know it was even done i just bought drove home fine and ever since has been a nightmare to go five minutes down the road
Okay thanks man keep in touch I have identified something is definitely getting hot once truck is cooled and been sitting will start and idle the minute you drive it get it warm it begins but thanks again man
Throttle body changed new gaskets no more crack still does the same thing and gets worse when weather is warm you can hear fuel pump kick on and cut off sounds normal to me but I'm kinda clueless I here a snap sound when you turn key to on position right as the fuel pump kicks off may be normal but I assume it's not
Well installed new throttle body new gasket throttle position sensor new air filter and new vacuum line from fuel pressure valve to main intake still same issue I don't get it
