zack1978 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Any ideas on what happens to my 1995 SE-V6 after it sits for a while? The deal is when the truck is not used for a few weeks, the first time you start it after sitting it runs ok but when you start driving the check engine light will go on and off. When the light is on, the truck stumbles and bucks and runs like garbage, when the light is off, all is fine. The entire problem goes away after the truck has been driven down the highway for a while. After that you have NO problems at all. Any ideas?

k9sar Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 check your codes. Mine does that from time to time but clears up when I blast through a big mud puddle may be the o2 sensor (code 33) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 First thing that comes to mind is MAF sensor wiring. Check the codes, the ECU will store error codes even if the light isn't on fulltime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zack1978 Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 This is a pain because I don't use the Path much anymore. Since July I have only put 2,000 miles on her. Zack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathFound Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 My 1991 ran real rough when I started it after having not driven in over a week. It idled badly for about 5-10 seconds then was smooth again. I must admit I was worried when I started it and it ran like @!*%. I try to drive it every weekend to make sure it doesn't sit too long.

Mine does that as well? What is that? Zack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
