Thread: Sudden problem, truck dies at idle and some black smoke from the exhaust

I didnt I got a bit irritated with it. I will say that normally one pump of the gas and the thing would fire easy every time and there after when it was warmed up you would never have to pump it. Now you can barely get it to start and keeping it running is about the same.

It's just weird that it randomly started one day while driving. It had given me some crap one day driving around town and it straightened out and never occurred again until the other day. It's cranking easy and just not wanting to fire, almost like my mustang when the vacuum advance was bad on the distributor when it had points, this of course does not. With that we could get it to fire and drive and then it would act up, there are just a lot of things to look at.
