I've had a number of shops tell me that the problem ranges from needing a tune up to the transimission is shot. The Servie engine light comes on and when it is checked by the shop they tell me cylinder #4 is misfiring. Could be injector (the engine is throttle body, I think) or intake manifold. Why doed the light go out and return only when I put the truck under a slight load. I notice that when I get to 2k rpm it begins to act up. When I come to a stop the truck runs rough then smooths out. If I really stomp on the gas the truck nearly stalls out completely. It takes a few minutes of rough running then returns to normal idle.
I've done a complete tune up, wires, cap, rotor, plugs, air filter. Trans oil ad filter changed because I thought it started feeling like the tranny wasn't going to low idle.
I read forums and it sounds like very similar problems are reported and it is suggested to replace the "shifting solenoid"? Need help, I love this truck and it seems I am missing something simple but so is the garage.
