    sorry guys been trying to fix this engine still runs rough i need to replace the mass air flow sensor which wil be costly, i bought some MAF cleaner and it has helped alot and now i need to clean the throttle body to see if that helps.

    ok guys its been a while i have gone through every wire on the truck no moisture i replaced the mass air flow sensor and nothing has changed. if anything i am starting to get a shutter at 40 mph. someone told me it may be my belts not catching, or the transmission.

    Personally I would take it to your mechanic/dealer and put it on the computer. It sounds like you have a bad sensor somewhere, and that will tell you what is actually wrong.




    This makes a lot of sense. As I understand it the water is immiscible in the IPA, and the IPA is immiscible in the gas. I think it is called a co-solvent or something like that. Either way, it won’t hurt to try it.

    You mean water in immiscible in gas, but IPA is miscible in both gas and water.
