Ok gents im back to try and get this solved once and for all.
I have done searching and reading thru threads.
I know what you are all thinking....wasnt he having this issue almost a yr ago? Well i never fixed it haha. I had a work truck until i fell to a layoff here in ab a week ago. So to say the least i need this truck to get me from a to b without almost getting rear ended every time she stalls out.
I replaced all cracked and leaking vacuum lines that i saw and found when i cleaned the iac tb and maf. Replaced fuel filter. Put a new, bigger, battery in.
So last week i tore the exhaust off because i heard it hissing....like it was clogged....it was. I ended up just beating the cat out hollow. You couldn't see through it and barely any air was getting thru. I thought maybe this back up was causing the rich smell and major fuel consumption (300km/tank). It immediately ran better and has ran better. But once again a cpl days later the idle surging stalling recovered. Now when i rev it up in neutral.to 6k it almost always regulates the idle. Almost as if im blowing something clean/out. Like i mentioned before when cleaned the iac i tested the power to plunger and worked fine....although it was pretty dirty. Also after hollowing cat i pulled plugs checked gaps and cleaned any carbon build up off and have a quick wire brush to em.
I plan on cleaning the maf again. This week
Ps those manuals won't work nor dl on my phone
Also installed new lower ball joints...idler arm...new blower fan motor retrofitted. Replaced front wheel bearings. I know parts arent relative but She is almost there...once the surging is solved she will be solid!
