It could be possible that I wired it shut. He took it to the woods today and I haven't heard if he had any trouble with the truck. I have to go over to his house tomorrow, if he stays home, and hook it back up, but if it didn't give him any trouble then I am going to leave it alone. It's kind of a bugger to hook it back up because it is in a place you really can't see, or reach.
The temp yesterday was around 40 degrees not too cold but maybe enough to make a difference.
Also,a stupid question, do these newer trucks have o-rings in the fuel line connections, I had to take the fuel lines apart to pull the engine, and now there is a fuel leak from down on that part of the engine. To be honest I think this truck hates me, or is possessed.

Went today and checked the truck out, my bro-in-law said that even with the flap unhooked it still howls, but his one helper said that the truck runs good, no howling. Unhooked the solenoid also when I was there and talked to him he might take it to a dealer and see if they can figure it out, it still smokes like a smokestack, tho, it did before we started the work on it.
I'm kinda stuck on ideas on this truck as far as the engine goes, any other ideas would help, I feel bad that I can't figure it out, but what is a guy to do.
Thanks guys for all of your help and ideas.
