Specifically, it sounds like a vaccuum advance issue. Either that, the air sensor, or the computer. Betting on the advance, though. _____________________________ If GOD be for me, then who can be against me? (in reply to fox) Post #: 4

Apparantly, this sensor was not working, and supplies the pcm with temp info. since the pcm "thought"  the engine was cold, it supplied an overly rich mixture at all times. my truck too, was hard to start, and smelled "gassey" when cold, better when warm, but not right. Oh, and if I nailed the gas, it would die out, then recover. hope this helps. Larry (in reply to jlbritt1) Post #: 5
