I have a 1993 4WD Hardbody 2.4 motor manual trans that I just got running after sitting in the garage for almost a decade.
After I got it running it ran well for a week, but now after driving for about 10 minutes, it starts to stumble, lose power and stall at a stop or low speed, sometimes it sounds like it backfires. Runs like a champ cold, but it slowly gets worse until flooring it barely does anything. Most noticeable at higher RPMs in 1st and 2nd. Shutting it off and turning it back on will get it to run fine for about a 1/4 mile until it starts to lose power again. Letting it cool for even longer will get it farther.
It only happens when the truck is warm after 5-10 minutes, but I have replaced everything that I can possibly think of. The thing is, THERE'S NO CODES. After clearing the codes and running it, I get code 55, no malfunction. I need some ideas.
Here's what I've replaced so far:
Full tune up:
-Spark plugs
-wires
-distributor cap
-distributor rotor
-air filter
-ignition coil (used)
-ignition control module (new)
-crankshaft position sensor (used)
-oxygen sensor
-coolant temperature sensor
-emptied fuel tank
-fresh gas
-new fuel pump/pickup
-fuel filter
-fuel lines
-new vacuum lines
-sea foamed the intake
-ran lucas fuel injector cleaner in gas
-cleaned mass air flow sensor
-EGR is holding vacuum (same symptoms with EGR vacuum unplugged)
-checked the TPS and volts seemed to increase smoothly, unless heat triggers it to malfunction(?)
-disconnected exhaust before the catalytic converter to eliminate clogged exhaust
After replacing/checking all of this, NOTHING has changed. I appreciate any help
