Changed the plugs. But still has a miss. Might be a clogged injector. Trying some injector cleaner 1st. If that doesn't do it. Then we change the injector. We switched coil packs. And # 2 cyl was still the issue. Thanks for the idea

First show of the year and just four more days!
Hey Matt: Bet its getting warm out there in Mexico now

I'm sure we'll figure it out by the end of the week. If its a coil or injector. Going to give it a few days 1st. See if the cleaner works or not. No use spending $$$ if you don't have to too> Ok back outside to finish up the yard work

so my truck developed a grinding noise on the drivers side yesterday, i've been listening to the brake squeakers for a couple weeks now knowing i needed new pads. pulled the wheel off and as expected drivers inside pad is down to the backing peice rotors look pretty nasty too, and i'm 90% sure they were warped bad ( felt like i had egg-shaped tires whenever i stepped on the brakes!). all this means is i got to take the monte for another drive, this time all the way down to town to pick up my new rotors

sounds like you guys covered your bases then, hopefully the injector cleaner does the trick!

come on man.........


Gelato (plural: gelati) is the Italian word for ice cream, derived from the Latin word "gelātus." (meaning frozen). Gelato is made with milk, cream, various sugars and flavoring such as fresh fruit and nut purees

Gelato isn't the same as ice cream though Its got less butter fat and is churned more slowly resulting in a thicker product.
