    Had to crank her way too long to turn over and then stumbling idle.....now dying while driving

    Alright boys so found some funky stuff going on here. I spliced that sensor and all was well but me being the jackass I am with a fruitless obsession of having everything perfect on a quarter century old truck I had to spring for a replacement sensor. Popped her on and all was well again...

    We're still good over here since splicing that wire together.....got a new EGR sensor on the way. Thanks to everyone for the help! If it changes I will update....

    Thanks @TomH @ppc @BloodyMGT I sincerely appreciate it! It is indeed a 97. I'm counting my chickens again over here but since I spliced that EGR sensor back into place she's been starting and running fine. Hoping that's the end of it but if not all that info is invaluable, I will update...

    I ended up splicing it lets see what happens, I tried removing it from the manifold to make it easier but that bolt wouldn't come off to save my life even though it looks completely clean, I damn near stripped it trying to wrench it off. That's going to be an issue when it comes to replace it....

    Would that possibly be causing it though? What do you think just splice it up and slap some electrical tape on it until I get a new one?

    Took her to my guys shop and he looked her over, unfortunately I couldn't reproduce it there but he was pretty confident it wasn't the HG. Told me I should try cleaning out the throttle body and MAF, I actually do have a spare MAF so might just throw that on. He also noticed this sensor going...

    Yes so it's definitely not fixed, totally jinxed myself I knew it couldn't be that easy. Funny because she teased me, she was ready to rock for a few days no issues and tonight worse than ever. It stalled out in the drive through line waiting for coffee and took a while to crank back up then...

    I never noticed it when I took the gas cap off but when I unhooked the hoses from the charcoal cannister it definitely hissed for a really long time.......

    Updating for future reference to help anyone else, put a new charcoal cannister in and it has stopped stalling out. Mind you this was intermittent so I'm not 100% counting my chickens but we shall see.... I'll update down the line either way. EDIT: problem persisted....read on

    Hmmm....I have been smelling fuel on startup every now and then now that I think about it but I don't have a hiss when filling up....

    Nothing registering on the ultragauge at all...

    Dobinsons springs/shocks which I'm sure is unrelated, before that a new OEM radiator. Would be awesome if it were only the charcoal cannister....

    You mean a code coming up?

    97 with an ultragauge in there, new radiator no over heating issues or engine codes

    Alright boys, this morning no issues.....started up fine no long crank no stumbling. Stopped at the gas station, long crank again and stumbling but didn't stall.....was good after a few seconds of stumbling. Pulled her into the warehouse, no bubbles in overflow and normal levels, no sweet...

    Mud my heart skipped a beat reading that, it's sputtering to a stop not a hard stop....you're saying I'm going to do more damage than just possibly the head gasket if I keep driving it?

    Just took her out again and she was stalling this time, would crank over and stall out. Had to give her some gas....but again once I got her rolling a bit down the road she was 100% good.

    Totally jinxed myself making that other thread about preventative maintenance of course.... Started her up tonight leaving work and I had to crank her way for much longer than usual and I had a stumbling idle once she turned over, this was a cold start. Once I got her rolling a little she was...
