Good one. I'm a frustrated drag racer already, down that slippery slope we go.

your sig. tells the tale. I bet that runs nice.

Nice, I bet that cruise control works good now.

If this truck turns out to be good I just might play along.
Just what I needed another place to spend more money

Engine miss/no power --Was intro and question

Hello all,

I changed the title to better describe the topic. (I hope it works right)

Update, Last night I pulled the right valve cover, Don't see any signs of problems with the wiring on that side. I will pull the other side this morning.

I did take a fuel sample. What I found is what looks like maybe oil mixed with the fuel. It is a brownish color. No water or solids, just looks diluted.
I pulled the f/filter and it is black and the bowl is full of the dark colored fuel.

Did I read somewhere that this means the injector o rings are bad? Would that explain my sudden symptoms? (bad miss, no power also seems to be knocking louder than normal)

Am I on the right track?

I would like to get this fixed today, so all help is definately appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe
