Hey, Garret:
Similar deal here in an otherwise trouble free for 9 years Dak. I've been
talking with Bernd about it and trying different things, but no solution
yet. Battery's new and of sufficient charge, coolant temp sensors (both)
fine, IAC fine, PCV fine, SBEC fine, no fuel leakdown or pressure loss,
etc. Like you, if the truck sits for more than a day, it doesn't run
right when first started. After a brief drive, I can restart it and
everything's fine. When it first started this stuff, it acted like I had
a really wild cam in it (shook like a dog sh*tt*ng peach pits) and
couldn't run in OD for about 5 miles. After that, everything was back to
normal and it ran as strong as ever.
Hope someone figures this one out.
