Thanks for the suggestion about the MAF. I will check that and a few other things tommorrow if the weather ever clears up.

 

Well, after a little bit of investigation, it turns out that all my troubles have been caused by a misaligned boost actuator valve!!

I messed with the level that it was sitting at when I first got the truck. After time, I either didn't tighten it up well, or it got bumped while installing the new plugs. I have since readjusted it, and the truck runs great!!

To all those who may have ever thought about messing with it.....DONT!!!!!! It was not worth the hassle.

Now I can only hope that it in some small way has been causing my poor gas mileage, for 10-11 mpg SUCKS. That is even with me driving like a grandma half the time.

 

Glad that you got it straightened out. Thanks for the update.
