I really need help, this is my only vehicle, and I have to get to work every day.
Symptoms: Stumbling/missing (cant really tell weather its a fuel issue, or a spark issue) under high load/ higher rpm. All started about a week or so into really cold temps, not sure if that could have anything to do with anything. It almost sounds like irregular 2-step on a forced induction car.
Steps already taken: Replaced fuel filter, threw some heet/seafoam in it, checked fuel pressure (12 PSI at idle, couldnt really check it while actually having the problem), new ICM, new cap, new rotor, new plugs, new plug wires.
Side notes: The two screws holding the ICM onto the distributor are rusty, the distributor is quite rusty, and the two small positive and negative leads going into the ICM were quite corroded. I cleaned them up as best I could however. The lead on the coil that goes to the distributor was also corroded, i tried to clean that up as best i could aswell.
The truck engine wise is relatively stock, previous owner replaced camshaft (i dont know the lift and duration), lifters, and valve springs, and threw a tb spacer on it. Im about ready to get a beater and swap in a junkyard motor.
