Truck started fine, drove it to work today, but when I went to leave for lunch it started fine as usual and as I started to go down the road it began cutting out. I gave it a little throttle and it backfired a little and kept cutting out.
I pulled the choke out a little to help it and it wouldn't idle above 1K RPM. If I'd give it gas it would die. It would start up again with the choke 1/2 way out, but any attempt to move choke or give it gas would cause it to die. Luckily, like last time, I was right near the garage when it decided to act up...I was able to idle it to the garage.
Glad it happened at work and not while I was up i the woods all weekend...
You think this: https://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/398302-60-wont-idle.html is my issue?
Think I'm going to keep my 89 Toyota pickup around for awhile until the TuRD proves it's reliability! I hope these are just original parts going bad (was the ign coil and distributor last month) Still less than a car payment every month...
