No it's not leftover fuel. All the fuel is well out of the system.

Personally, I would just go back since they did not do the job properly, unless of course this is an un-related issue. With the vehicle mis-firing I would run a cylinder balance test to determine which cylinder is acting up, then go from there.

When does it mis-fire? Under load? Idle? Cruise?

The miss has left, and it came underload. But I think what I was blaming as a miss is somthing else
when I am driving down the road and come to a hill the motor lugs down and starts to jerk it isnt shifting out of overdrive as fast as it should if I use the button on the gear selector and manually take it out of overdrive the truck drops to drive the revs come up and the jerk stops.
Has me puzzled.
