My first post here. Lurker over on TV and found this while trying to figure out what I have done...
I went and changed my fuel filter Sunday. The only thing I didn't do according to the write up on TV is disconnect negative terminal. After changing filter out and starting my TB up I soon noticed a funky idle. It had a lope to it as if I had installed an aggressive cam. The SES light started to flash while driving it. Since then I have had SES codes pulled- multiple engine misfires. I have run fuel injector cleaner through it, I have disconnected the battery twice( once was while I pulled the throttle body and cleaned it). I just jacked it back up to see if I put the new one back in correctly. If the line that has the fuel release valve is supposed to be on the line for Out then I have done that correctly.
I had just replaced the plugs about six months ago along with cleaning the MAF and throttle body. The truck ran well before I changed fuel filter. Now afterwards it runs like crap. I have noticed while driving it that it seems to have trouble getting up to 3000 rpms. With multiple misfires I guess that can be expected.
Gentlemen any clues as to what I have done? Could some type of sediment crossed over and giving me issues at either the injector or plugs? Is it possible too have gotten a bad fuel filter? if plugs are fouled how can I correct that? Is that new plugs or can I just pull and clean the ones in the truck now?
Throw some suggestions out and I will try them...
