A legitimate injector question
Okay...the saga continues.
I managed to get the truck started today. It did not start easy, but...after a 30 second or so rough idling period, it purrs like a kitten.
It did not start after work 11 hours later.
My Question -
If one or more injectors are shot, how can it purr like a kitten once it is started?
I do plan to have someone check the (voltage - is this correct?) on the FICM.
It just seems and sounds like it is not getting fuel.
Question 2 - I assume the gas goes from the upper fuel filter to the injectors? Is it possible there is a clog or crud in the bottom of the fuel filter bowl / Line?
Finally #3 What is the little canister thing that hums/purrs and seem to suck air in when you key on the ignition to wait for the plug light to go out? It is behind the primary battery.
Thanks again all

I think what you are refering to is the egr valve you might want to check it out clean it up it could be stuck open. I think on your year it was moved to the driver side valve cover towards the front
