I have 1284 miles on my 01. Today it was a whoppin 19 degrees out side when I went out to start it up, if fired rite up but felt like it was only running on 5 or 6 cylinders, it died after 3-4 seconds, I restarted it 5-6 times it always died, sometimes I could idle it up a thousand or two but it really ran rough and sometimes as soon as I would try to give it some gas it would just shut off. It seemed almost more electrical to me after i thought about it.
I screwed around with it for a while and when it started warming up it kept running longer / better & better, now it is back to normal.
Any ideas?
The only thing i did was put the Crevini's ram air hood on it friday. I do wonder about all that air in there, it blows the wipers up off the windshield at about 110-115 mph & you really hear & feel all that additional air shaking the front of the truck.

Any ideas?

I know this sounds rather elementary, but what you've described, especially given the outdoor temps. could be water in your fuel. It may be as simple as a bad tank of gas. While this is certainly only a stab in the dark, it does fit in with your description of the symptons you are experiencing. Good Luck.

 

I don`t know what ur problem is but it has nothing to do with the hood unless water came through the vents of the hood! I have had my crevinis ram air hood on for about 1000 miles and speeds up to 130 mph no problem!!!

 

I filled her up with some new gas and it seems fine now. Hope it was just water.
