Tired of fixing lousy engineering.
Good news is, wife went into labor this morning and we drove to the hospital just fine, had a healthy baby, Momma is healthy, and after a few hours I decided to ride back home to check on the kids and Grandma. Truck immediately went into misfire mode.
OBDII bluetooth scanner says misfire Cyl 5.
On the way back to the house, I pulled the #5 plug. Had a lot of carbon on it, but not "lumps", just black coating that was a little wet. Looked like fuel to me but could have been oil.
Gave it a new plug (NGK single plat). No change.
Bought some new wires, gave it a new wire. No change.
So, help a guy out here on what to check next. I'm going to pull the Dizzy cap tomorrow and inspect it.
Other than that, what do I check next? Fuel pressure?
Can I check the fuel injector without pulling the upper intake apart? Is there a way to see if #5 Injector is just plugged?
Recent repair history--
New intake gasket, plugs (ACDelco coppers), new wires, new dist cap and rotor--- 10 months ago.
Oil has less than 2K miles on it.
