An engine miss! argh!
I got the truck all cleaned up in our air conditioned garage, so that when we would leave for the Nifty50ee's, the cab would be cool therefore the AC would have a chance to keep the cab cool. However, we were just going to drive it a few miles down I-10 to check it out and get gas.
As soon as I cranked it, I could feel it! Like someone pulled a spark plug wire off feeling. I was hoping that a plug wire came off; something simple. But that's not the case. My exhaust doesn't have a crossover pipe, so I could put my hand at the exhaust and feel/hear a miss on the left side of the engine. When up to 45-50, I don't feel it as much, but at idle, it shakes the truck a little. However, right now it's really too hot to mess with! So I guess when the engine cools down completely I'll pull the spark plugs on the left bank to see what's up. How does a person check to see which plug it actually is? Could I pull a wire at the cap vs at the plug? Would that hurt the distributor? Just a little sad, the truck looks so nice and was running so well! dne'
