well guys she started and sounds fine, thank you to all who helped me get it fixed and who gave me there time to answer any questions i needed,

to all who bashed me and was no help i have nothing for you

That's just it, they where trying to help you. What you did was stupid. Obviously it worked but that is not the point. You would have had less time and effort in the project if you had pulled the motor out. Not to mention a truck with an undamaged frame.

you probably forgot to hook up a sensor or something along those lines.

you will need to read the code to see what it is. It might take a long time for the air to get out of the hpo system just idling, you may want to drive it a little and see what codes you have, also what was mentioned above, make sure all electrical on the motor is plugged in and undamaged.

everything is plugged in it only comes on when i start it, is air in those lines the reason it sounds a tad off? also feels slower then usual, that because of air in the lines?

also would a bad injector cause a slight miss?

Alot of things could cause a slight miss.

and that is ?

Go out and flog the **** out of her for 20-30 miles or so. That should get any air out of the HPO system. If it's still acting funny after that then start looking into it further.
How long does the check engine light stay illuminated?

Low compression on a hole that was shade tree repaired for one. This motor may never idle smooth. Cylinder balance is important for a smooth idle, and good equal compression is important in regards to cylinder balance.

from when it fires to when it shuts off, could a bad injector do this?

would low comp cause any smoke at all?

yes. incomplete combustion

well it doesn't smoke at all, even with the pedal to the floor, there is no smoke coming out of it at all

what codes does it have?

David N · Mar 20, 2013

Does it shudder or shake when you load the motor while driving it? I just went through a miss a couple days ago after installing a new motor. Turns out my UVC gasket wasn't completely plugged in, and wasn't sending voltage to one injector. You can take the IDM out and Ohm out each injector. I would start there. Its not hard to do. And this is if its throwing the "P1316 IDM fault code".
