    m1008 wierd fuel issue, help please.

    huh...well on that note if this sensor went bad would it cause the high idle to turn on and off only at high speeds?? another question: i run heated WVO (160F) could this cause the sensor to behave sporatically. i didnt think sunning grease made a difference because my truck does this whether...
