hello all,
I've been having an issue with the Burb ever since I traded for it. At highway cruising speeds 65-70 I get a surge/buck/misfire. I can go WTFO and not have any issue but trying to maintain cruising speed this happens. It did happen tonight on cold start up when I was leaving work. Felt like its just falling on its face. Once I got home I sprayed the wires in the dark hoping to find a fireworks show only to not see any arcing at all.
I have searched. The truck has almost 213k on it so its broke in a little. Is there a way to check to see if my distributor gear is worn without pulling the whole thing? I know diesels like the back of my hand but I'm scared I wont get it back in the correct spot/ tooth orientation if I do pull it out even if I mark it.
Any help here is appreciated. The previous owner said a tune up was performed about march of 2014. I did just go pop the distributor cap off. The cap, rotor and plug wires are new. The distributor tabs inside of it are wearing on the edge instead of the middle like I thought it should but maybe that's because its new? idk
BTW, no codes are present, It consistently flash 12 when I use the ole paper clip trick.
