Rough idle
I'm having a slightly rough idle. The motor will run fine for about 5-6 seconds and then slowly starts to sound like it's getting starved for gas. It happens whether the engine is cold or warmed up. I have to blip it at lights to keep the truck from stalling (manual tranny). Also, even with a K&N filter element, the truck is getting sorry gas mileage. The fuel filter was just replaced, and I haven't checked the plugs and wires yet. K&N was cleaned approx. 6 months ago. Any ideas? Do you think the carb just needs to be tuned? TIA.
