bushnut Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 whats your fuel millage like? have you replaced spark plugs, wire, rotor, cap recently? does it idle ok? when an engine is not running right but still runs the first things to check are spark and fuel. to little spark or to much fuel can cause the engine to choke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Nguyen Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Whats your vehicle mileage? Check your air filter too. It could be a clogged catalytic converter. Is the cat rattling? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmark1981 Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 There is a rattle when in 4x4 But my mpg is about 19. I put new plugs in 2 years ago. Did the dist cap last month. But this has been going on for months Sent from my LG-H812 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Any other symptoms? Codes? Any pattern to when this hesitation occurs (wet days, engine cold, engine warm, taking off soft, taking off hard?) If it happens when you take off hard, I'd check the driver's side engine mount and the intake pipe, I've heard of that pipe getting a rip that opens up when the engine rocks under acceleration--which then lets in unmetered air and makes the engine bog out. If it's worse when wet, it could be worn-out plug wires, but I expect you'd notice the misfire if that was the case (and it wouldn't be just on take off). Rattle in 4x sounds like an unrelated issue. I have heard of the guts of a catalyst coming loose and rattling around, or getting jammed in sideways and blocking flow, but I wouldn't expect that to cause a once-in-a-while type issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

032484 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I had the same symptoms happen to my sonoma. It ended being the fuel injectors, the popping/backfire is due to unburned gas entering the exhaust. I had no engine codes either but I checked the injectors and one was not firing another was weak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
