So today I took the pickup for a drive. It rans great. Nice smooth idle when in Park and a nice mean little lope when it was in a drive gear. So I get back to the house, park it, do some honey do's since I have been gone and go back out take the sway bar off and such getting ready to put the lift on it. Well I top off the radiator with antifreeze and got to fire it up to take the trash to the dumpster. Welll it runs like crap. I can't get it to idle by itself for nothing. So I adjust the idle screw and get it to odle for itself and commence to take the trash down the road. Ran fine, to the dumpster, 2 blocks away, it even sat and idled for a little bit. Well I get back in and decide to take a longer run back to the house and it starts running like PURE T CHIT. I get it to the house shut it down and look for some vacuum leak, welp nothing. I go to start it and nothing at first. Hold the starter a little longer and it comes to life. Still running like a 3 leged dog.

It only sems to do this when it gets a little warm.
What am I not looking for? Timing is right, getting fuel and fire.

Anywho, if it ain't floodin' out, black smoke. May be the ignition module going bad. Maybe getting hot and malfunctioning.............. Salute

Did you find the problem yet ? I'll go with Donald and say flooding.
