). Most folks solved the "romps" by going to 5-40 syn oil (I switch over in the fall, others just went year round with 5-40 syn). It seems that it is when the oil gets thick enough, due to cold, the injectors don't get adequate pressure from the hpop until the oil warms enough. When my truck got the romps, it was a god awful noise...that is why I switched to 5-40 syn.
I am going to rebuild my IPR this week, even though I don't have the problem any longer...Hope this helps?

Its when you first start the truck, usually in colder weather, the idle jumps from 1 to 2 thousand rpm's untill it warms up a little or I step on the throttle. Apparently not all of them do this. So for so good with the IPR rebuild!

Mine does this also when its cold every once in awhile... I thought it was normal.. Whats the down side of the Romps?? Noise never bothered me, its not even that noticeable... just does it about 2-4 times and its fine.

mine is a Montana truck and it does it around 24 deg or below (not plugged in)
will change to 10-40 before it gets to cold and hopefully it takes care of it.
still wondering about the IPR. its rebuildable? flea-bay? what does it do. never mind I will search.

Doesn't matter temp or elevation. ZERO romping.
I made a recording a couple of years ago.

I am wondering if some of you guys are considering the motor idleing up when parked as romp. mine speeds up the idle periodically when its cold out, but run perfectly smooth doing it.
freaked me out on my 99 the first time it did it. I was sleeping in the back seat, with temps around 0 I left it idleing for the night, I was awakened by what sounded like my pickup taking off! I jumped up and realized no one else was in there w/ me, laughed and went back to sleep.
