<< Lynn returned with the parts
and I slapped them
in, just starting to rain, damn I'm good, let's go get lunch! Whoa! truck
is running rough, crap,
I check the drawing, everything looks good, sure wish I had a FSM (waiting
on a good deal!).
I pull each plug wire and don't notice any difference except #6 seems to
make it run rougher
when pulled than the others. OK, now what ? I know, the firing order has to
be on the Inter-net,
so I run into the house. While I'm dialing up I look over my book case and
see one of my Chrysler
engine rebuild books, wow, it says 3.9 V6, who would of thunk? Bad news, I
have the firing order
right. Now what?
I go back outside and start pulling wires again, this time paying close
attention to the slightest
change. Aha, plugs 1-4 only make a slight roughness in the idle, but they
do make a difference.
6 makes a big difference and 5 doesn't appear to make any difference! A
closer look at 5
reveals that is might not be seating all the way on the plug, tada! that
was it ! Now I'm a little
wetter, a lot less smug and still hungry, so off to lunch we went. >>
You should feel even MORE smug. You diagnosed and fixed your prob
rather quickly. You would be surprised at the number of people who would throw
up their hands and take it in somewhere else. Congrats are in order.
