oh my lord. Let me tell you! Check it out, so the story starts a little somethin like this;
I make a right turn following my buddy to his house. In third gear, my truck starts jerking when i gas it. The rest of the way to his house, it keeps losing power until the engine eventually dies.
When we get to his house, i take off my air filter to notice that my butterfly is disconnected and the s*** is just dangling open. So I reconnect it and i assume that its fine and try to drive it home.
It begins to jerk and die again, right when i get onto the on ramp for the highway.
CHP rolls up and asks me whats wrong with it (and this brunette CHP officer is phuxin fine as hell), and I tell her that its just dying. So she calls the free towing company and what not.
When the guy gets there, instead of towing me, he takes off the fuel filter and points out a little bit of crap at the bottom of it. He blows it out and connects it and asks me, "did you wait until about a quarter tank and fill it up all the way" which i did last night. He said that there's bunch of crap that may be in your fuel tank since its an old truck thats gettin shot into my fuel filter and fuel line thats making the flow screwy which would result in the jerkiness. After that, I was able to get it home, but still hesitates.
And this NETFREAK would make sense if there is a hidden fuel filter and hose that needs to be replaced. He temporarily fixed it, but i have a feeling i'm going to have to phux with that other filter to get it workin better.
*hands you a beer* Take from this and drink from it. This is a cup of my blood. A cup of the new and everlasting gobstopper.
