not good. raw gas into the exhaust will cook the cat, and that will cost$$$$ on the 4.6's set up.

Jr, must be something in the water with the chebby alternators. Hubby parked his at the airport, came back a week later (stupid late flight) and the alternator didn't get him home. Had to go get him, and then take him back in the am to get the alternator off, then to the parts store and back to the chebby.
Bud-Auto Zone informed me that plug 3 isn't firing. Hubby gets home Friday night, so Saturday is Ford day. I'm about 30 miles from Seaford DE, think its safe to take the kids to the cruise Thursday, or should I try to make next weeks?

i prolly wouldnt risk it... could be bad coil, burned out pickup lead under the cap (listed but cuz im not sure which the truck uses) bad wire, broken plug... sometimes even a bad crank sensor could cause it too...

use your reader when you see her. won't use any more fuel, same amout goes in, just don't fire, and shoots it out the exhaust.#3 makes the truck vibrate from missing, but you will only know that at certain rpms. if was #8, you would really feel it, because 7 fires right before 8, and will be a dead miss all the time
