sorry about that, I can't figure out how to delete one of them though.

1987 ford f150 with a 302 while going down the road it acts kinda like the ignition just suddenly goes of for less than a second at a time normally. and it normally kind of does it in batches, 3 or 4 times. Although sometimes it will just die In the road when it happens but normally will start back up fairly easy. seems a light worse on rough gravel roads.

It also has a slightly rough idle you can't really hear it but you can't feel that it's not really running a smooth as it should, smooths out pretty well after 1500rpm. but weirdly it seems to smooth out soon as soon as it's in gear. I can't find a miss pulling wires of at the distributor. It doesn't always idle the same speed but doesn't surge. but it doesn't always idle the same rpm.

It doesn't tend to start well when hot. If you start it back up within 15 minutes or so it will start ok, if you wait any longer than that you have to crank for way to long, and it seems to run very rich for a few minutes after it finally does start. It takes like 4 hours before it will actually start well.

Should probably note I pulled the codes the other day and got a 33, 14, and a 44
smog system has been deleted
kind of wonder if it is possible that all those are somehow connected.
