Yesterday I started my truck and I felt the idle was a little erratic, it would slowly bounce from about 600 to 1,000 rpm. I revved the engine a bit and noticed that it stumbled. Then I put it in reverse to leave the drive way and the engine died. When I tried cranking the engine back up, it took at least five seconds before it fired. I managed to keep it alive while in gear and went around the block. The truck had no power whatsoever (can't maintain 60mph uphill) and was constantly stumbling. I died out coming up to stop signs a few times as well. The exhaust also smells extremely rich.
Can anybody point me in the right direction? No codes have shown up, other than 32 - EGR, which I've had for years. The truck is the one in my sig, '95 Chevy 1500 5.7L 4L60E
I have replaced:
- The fuel filter back in May and again today
- IAC and TPS back in Feb/Mar
- Spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor a few weeks ago
One thing that might be worth noting is that I just filled up three days prior to this at a store I never bought gas from before. Several people have suggested that I got bad gas/water in the gas and that I need to drain the tank (and replace the filter again possibly). I've also heard that the MAP, O2, or coolant temp sensors could be to blame.
