    It is very intermittent. It will run fine, then when it idles, it will start missing badly. Then, when I get up to speed it will sometimes go away.

    Might be worth asking @BamaToy1997 about your issue. He's pretty knowledgeable.

    Can't remember if I asked... Do you have the stock horns? Insurance is refusing to pay for mine that were broken in the accident a few months ago and I can't go any longer without a horn.

    Hey, yes I do. I think you asked about them a while back but I couldn't find them. I did find them a while back.
    You're welcome to them, just cover the shipping cost and they are yours.

    Here is some of the organizing I got done.
    The middle shelf is pretty well populated with what remains of the parts truck.

    I also got the AC belt on the truck and verified that the fuse doesn't blow every time I press the ac button. The previous compressor was seized.

    I got a start on the exhaust. I have it all planned out. It took a few trips to the parts store to get all the adapters and clamps to make it work but it'll be in much better condition than it was previously.

    I am still have have not been able to resolve the code that is being thrown.

    That code is P1600 ECM BATT Malfunction
    Fus eis good, I thought I could try swapping the ecu with the one from the parts truck but it's not the same. So odd.

    I may have spoken too quickly on that offer, let me first test them to insure that they actually work.

    Got the high side ac fitting today.
    I'm currently putting a vacuum on the system to pull out any mousture that may have collected in there.
    After I will close the valves and let it sit for 30. The gauges should remain where they were. If not, there is a leak of some sort in the system.

    A few pictures of the setup.
    The vacuum is being vented outside because of the vapour fumes. Vapour fumes were present last time I used it to make carbon fiber parts. My research tells me this can be normal so I won't worry.

    At rest the guages both sit at zero.
    With vacuum they are reading what they should, low side at -30 inches of vacuum and the high side needle should be pegged.

    The vacuum test proved sucessful, so no leaks in the system.
    I'm trying to find some NB8 or PEG 46 ac compressor oil to add to the system while charging. I checked at the refrigeration distributor where I purchased the adaptors and they had none. Crappy tire did not have any either.
    I'll make a list of places to call tomorrow and see if I can source some without having to order some online.

    At this point I only have a few more things to complete before the truck is ready to roll.

    - Charge AC system
    - Finish exhaust work
    - Re-do two rear brake lines
    - Bleed brakes
    - Repair/replace throttle cable
    - Remove/Repair rusted areas of cab and bed
    - Paint the truck (I may have to wait...$$$)

    You said you replaced #4 spark plug. Did you also replace #1 plug? this uses a waste spark system, so the #1 plug could actually be having issues, causing a misfire to show in cyl #4.

    Yeah, cylinder 4 misfire. Changed cylinder 4 plug, coil, and was on the process that the injector was next. Hopefully its just cylinder 1 spark plug or coil.

    Now, I have to go push Tammy Tacoma out of the barn, jump her (sexy, right?) and change spark plug on cylinder 1 to see if that fixes the issue...please god, let it be a spark plug or coil.
