Its a 1998 B3000 and I'm having a problem with the engine running really rough. It will skip and sounds real throaty when it is cold but when it warms up it not as bad but still does it. The gas mileage is really,really bad. I get 17 hwy. Ive changed the plugs ,wires, egr valve, fuel filter and pump, and everything in the vacuum system and still having problems.

Try replacing the coolant temperature sensor for the injection system.

SOURCE: 93 ford taurus is skipping, has bad gas mileage,

Iam only going to guess at this one.
So have it checked out,don't take my word

If your converter is 17 years old,it may be blocked (worn out),thus lack of power.

Black Tailpipe-rich condition or prior ignition issues,before new parts went on.

Really old O2 Sensors.

SOURCE: I have a 1992 camaro rs, the engine is running

Possibly ignition wires. Is the engine light on? If yes, have the car scanned for trouble codes and report codes to FixYa.

Hi, welcome to FixYa.com my name is Shawn and I will be answering your question.
Two possible causes first a bad DPFE sensor which monitors EGR flow or next clogged EGR ports. Remove the throttle body 4 8mm bolts and a cable then clean the EGR passage out. Clear the code by disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes.


I hope my assistance helped you and resolved your concern, if you need further assistance please ask.

What is wrong when it's cold and my 1998 Trooper powers down with the ABS light, the battery light, and the four wheel drive light blinking

that is called a STALL.
the engine was running , but now its STALLED.
and all lamps come on that is a Feature of all cars. (modern)
the that is the lamp self test. same as when you first turn on the key.
the operators guide explains all that...........
so the real question is why it stalls.
it means the engine is running so bad the EFI brain could not avoid the stall, it tries REAL HARD not to stall.
we do tests to find true cause. but usually its this.
1: engine never tuned up. the 60,000mile service POINTS skipped.
hark it fails. (99% of all old cars do that, due to skips)
2: LOST spark , see #1
3: lost fueling, see #1 filters. or worse.
4: flooding, over fueling. more tests.

got tools? or just want guesses?????

Car shaking at stop, running real rough. have heard some knocking in the cold cold weather. engine light came on. someone suggested it was the fuel injector so I put some of that Lucas injector stuff in...

Possibility of a vacuum leak somewhere around your engine. That would cause what you are experiencing and cause a check engine light as well.

Good luck.

Engine runs extremely rough, seems to be fuel related, new fuel pump & filter installed, pressure good, run 2 bottles of injector cleaner through. Can't get to stay running under load. 1998, chev....

Have you changed the plugs, if any are fouled out or if any are worn, it takes more to fire it under load and may be spark knocking because one of the plugs can't fire off all the gas and cause it to skip or idle rough.
