I started a thread a few weeks ago in the wrong section. Thank you to anyone who answered me there.
I have checked my transmission fluid, it is up. Since this started we have ran two full tanks of gas through the truck. Here is what I found and now I have questions.
I bypassed the fuel filter no change. I put a clear tube on the injection pump sometimes when it surges, you see air bubbles, sometimes you don't. The truck runs around town perfectly fine 80 precent of the time. It always runs down the highway fine, no smoke, good acceleration. The issue is always at idle or with no load, ie coasting up to a stop sign.
The truck always screams to the moon at start up and surges til it calms down, until you touch accelerator to give it fuel and then it revs back up. There is no smoke at idle when it is idling normally, but when it is throwing a fit it smokes blue and white. For those that didn't read my initial post this randomly started after rotating tires and have it up on jacks. This is a daily driven truck for the last three years, approximately 30,000 miles. I took the return line off the check valve thats supposed to have a little glass ball to see if it was plugged, there was no little glass ball and it wasn't plugged or any dirt or anything. We never removed the little glass ball. So today I finally decided to pinch the return while truck was running to see if it made a difference and low and behold it does. If I pinch it just right the surging goes away, and if I pinch it off closed and start it, it doesn't Rev to the moon anymore. So my question to you guys is, has anyone had their check ball break and have it cause crazy idling? If so I will buy a check valve for it, as they aren't cheap I'm asking first.
We haven't removed the check ball. This truck has been driven daily the past three years in all sorts of conditions, from 30 below to 100, no issues. Is it possible my check valve broke and caused this sudden crazy idling issue?
