3.0 stumbling problems.

Anyone with a 3.0 have any problems with the engine stumbling in the first few gears. I have a 94' supercab manual tranny. I recently had ALL fluids flushed/ changed. Everything else seems to work fine, I get about 19 mpg city/country commuting. I just have this annoying engine problem. thanks.

3.0 stumbling problems.

My dad's 4.0 1996 had a similar problem. There are 2 things I'd check - first one (and free) is to CAREFULLY pull out the MAF sensor itself and spray down very well with a carb cleaner such as Gumout (reset the computer after this). The next (and this one actually fixed the problem on his truck) is to install new spark plug wires - get some good 8mm wires, they are worth it.
