Need serious help!!!

Get some help !!

Without pulling and addressing all the codes your just stumbling around blindfolded .

Checking the fuel pressure is done by inserting the needed fitting and a pressure gauge might just be beyond your skills at this time

Might be someone close to you that could help

 

Your probly right!!! But I gotta do something!!! Just thought I'd try this thing out?? I don't even know what I'm doing on this computer let alone my truck!!!

 

I'm suspecting a plugged catalytic converter. But, to narrow it down, you need to clear the codes, then read for whatever new one(s) pops up. A muffler shop may offer a free diagnosis of the exhaust system, including a plugged converter or muffler. When my converter started to go out in my 89 Maxda B2400, it started to hesitate at higher speeds, especially when going up a hill. Soon, it would hesitate off the line when I gassed it hard. That truck turned out to have two converters, one under the truck, where you would normally see one, and one right under the exhaust manifold. That's the one that turned out to be plugged. It had a honeycomb structure and I simply got a large screwdriver and removed the asbestos like material that had plugged up.

 

given the miles shown in your sig (413,000), it could be any number of things...go to autozone, get codes read, then come back...with that many miles, O2's, cats, plugs, wires, coil packs, injectors and many other things could be bad....what kind of maintenance has been done to this high mileage unit?

 

I keep it up as far as oil changes n what not?! I bought it used but according to the fella I bought it from he used it to deliver napa parts and said it has always been maintained?! He bought it new?! But you could take that with a grain of salt?!?

 

Seriously, if you're going to do one thing, let it be to go get the MIL(CEL) codes read. As stated previously, that WILL point you in the right direction.

 

I don't think the OP has any intention of checking to see why the CEL is on...

 

I thought the poll was pretty good. haha

 

Then hes screwed. haha

 

It's even funnier because he probably didn't do it on purpose, lol.

Sorry to poke fun OP, but there's really nothing we can do to help until we know what those codes are. Again, AutoZone will read them for you for free. Get 'er done

 

I am beginning to get a feeling here, possible trollage in action, hope I am wrong....action is required here (get the cel codes read), not continual questions...

 

And, it is hard for me to believe that anyone who is of driving age and young knows nothing about computers, this generation grew up around electronics, if not at home, then at school.....then there are smart phones.....I know nothing, hah...

 

I'm a little sad that this guys got two pages of responses and I can't get a legitimate sway bar question answered...

That's a first.

 

If you off road seriously, no sway bar or sway bar with disconnects, if you drive exclusively on paved roads and want sports car performance, sway bar front and rear....early on I added a rear sway bar to mine(did a lot of towing, but no more), the front came stock with a sway bar....I have removed the rear sway bar and frankly like the ride better, doesn't lean that much more that with...I prefer a smoother ride...

 

Thanks for your input! When you put it that way I'm pretty torn....

 

Just remember, it is a truck, not a sports car, get over it....

 

What did you do with the sway bar you removed? I am looking for one for my 2002 Prerunner....2WD

 

You should make a thread in the First Gen Marketplace forum asking to buy a sway bar, I'm sure you'll be able to find one. People on here usually remove theirs so there's bound to be someone willing to give or sell you their's.
