Engine Stumbling?
My engine seems to stumble and shake a little when accelerating lightly under 1300 rpm, it will also smoke a little during this stumbling. It seems to come and go, it wont happen all the time, cold or warm it still happens. I checked my filters and fluids, they all are fine. Any ideas?

mine is doing the same thing. i'm searching on here to see what it might be. any ideas are appreciated. it stumbles or dies randomly when i'm accelerating at low rpms, or it sometimes dies when i am idling. this is not convenient in a curve! LOL. again, it's all random.

Gonna bump this one. I see no answers as of yet. It is getting late and I will be working again tomorrow. Hopefully somone will chime in. If not, I will dig throught the DVD manual for you, uggghhh. Maybe tomorrow night or the next day for me but that DVD is so full of stuff it can really hurt my head. Also, stumbling at lower RPMs with a shake does not sound good. Sounds like a fuel problem or lack of HPO to get her going. But without checking, not sure, may even be a throttle assembly issue. Stay tuned.

I had the same stumbling issue that you guys are having, but it stopped once I cleaned the EBP sensor. Mine hadn't been changed and was filled all sorts of black gunk and goodies. As soon as I cleaned it, the stumbling, rough idle, and poor acceleration stopped and my truck ran better.....for a little while. Now I'm back to square one, so I'm ordering a new one off of ebay as I'm typing this. It's at the front of the engine, behind the highest pulley; a one inch socket will do the trick.

You need a cylinder contribution test to test the injectors. Can be done with some programmers or an AutoEnginuity. Or take to dealer/shop.
I would check the harnesses first, no cost there.
I believe the VC gasket is reusable unless it's boogered up.
