<< I need some help diagnosing a problem with my Dak. Lately, within the past
 week, after startup(idling) my truck runs rather rough(like I have a stout
 454 in it) and acceleration is really what is used to be. It almost seems to
 be idling rough, like it isn't getting enough gas type of rough idle. No
 fault codes are coming up either. My truck has 105,000 miles on it. With the
 past 5-7 months I have put on a new Oxygen sensor, EGR valve and vacuum
 tranducer, full tune up including new Accel Coil, MSD 8.5MM Super
Conductors,
 new brass cap and rotor, and new Champion Truck Plugs. I have my MSD
 6-Offroad ignition box waiting to get put on, but I want to get this fixed
 before I do it. Last month I had to put on an entire fuel pump
 assembly(#5)/sending unit along with a fuel filter. Both the tank, pump, and
 filter was rather dirty. For some reason, in the back of my mind is a
 clogged/bad fuel injector(s). Maybe it is now time for that MotorVac entire
 fuel system cleaning and see if it helps. Is it better to have the injectors
 cleaned, or are new ones needed? Matched set maybe????? :)
 Any suggestions? HELP!

Remove the Idle Air Control motor from the throttle body, and check that its
clean, and not stuck. Also this is a good time to remove the throttle body
and clean it.
