Also forgot to add. Before I got it running this morning, everytime I would have the key on before but not running, I would hear a hiss from the top of the engine. Cant tell where from and I didnt think it did that when it was working.

Now I got it running and driving today, I havent checked for that hiss. I will edit this post later tonight after I check.


EDIT: So I got home and tried starting it. Didnt work. Heard the hiss of fuel. I could hear it working through the lines under the truck as well. So I did the same today and used starting fluid to start it. Couldnt read codes. Let it run for 7 minutes then BOOM idle changes as I expect, and Im able to pull the same codes. I turn it off, then key on, I hear the fuel pump kick on and then off. No hiss, no fuel lines working after the initial start up of the pump. I removed the cabin cover of the PCM/ECU, the computer looks a little dirty, probably original.

Is this sounding like the computer more than anything else? I just want some expert advise before I spend over 100 dollars on a new computer. Since I am pretty broke for a couple of weeks...

Thanks in advance Ron, I at least hope someone years ahead will read all of what you're teaching me and gain as I am now.

 

Update: So I drove it around a while and finally got the CEL to come on after 13 minutes of driving. Checked and the only "real" code Im getting is that o2 sensor always lean. Drives without stalling and Im leaving it running until I go to work. I reset the computer by disconnecting the battery and turning on the lights, touching the connectors, ect, before I drove again. I did the codes and the light went away again for now.

What Im wondering is why Im not able to WOT or read codes when I first start it up, and have to use starting fluid.

Im probably wrong again but for some reason I think its the computer. I dont get why it would kick in after warming up though, so Im not buying a new one yet.

Is there a way to test the PCM/ECU with my volt meter?

 

Ugh, of course I get home tonight and turn the key, fuel pump works as it should and fires right up. I drive for an HOUR and no CEL, when it would usually pop after 10 min...

This damn truck. Whoever is reading this welcome to my diary!

 

Well the truck worked well over a month. I straight piped it and runs great. Yesterday was the first day of rain in a long time. Ran through it, but last night it stalled and did he fuel pump hum again. My fuses feel dry, I was starting to think moisture was getting on them since the truck did have a little bit of water in it from sitting when I bought it
