97 with a 4.2, rough starting and acceleration
has anyone had this. The truck has not been run much for 4 years then i received it as a gift with only 32,000 miles on it. When I first start it in the mornings, it seems to have a rough start that seems as though the motor is going to jump out and run away. I have to turn it off and then it cranks fine.
does anyone know what could cause it? Not sure about the acceleration also, it seems to take about 2 seconds for it to kick in. I'm not sure if it is jump the small engine, I use to have a Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.9 that really got up and went. Any help is appreciated.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
