Help!
So I moved into the city and had been leaving my truck at my parents house. It had not been driven in maybe 2-3 weeks with about 1/4 of fuel in it, no additives in the fuel. Temperatures have been very cold (30* high/20*low). So anyway my Mom took my truck to her work earlier this week and she reported that she "hit a big pothole" and the SES light came on. After this she reported the idle was very rough. So it needed fuel and she went and filled it up with diesel.
I got home tonight and just figured something was loose. So I checked under the hood and didn't notice anything wrong at all. It still has a rough idle but sometimes is smooth and other times is rough and then sometimes its really lopey.
I took it to Autozone to have them scan it and no codes came up. He tried scanning it 2 more times and nothing came up. So I bought some fuel additive... thought the fuel might have gelled up.
Anyone know what could be wrong? We just built this engine a year ago so everything is brand new. When we did the engine we did put the grey CPS that came in the Ford master overhaul engine kit. Should I switch it?
On a side note the SES light has come on before after we built the engine on occasion when the truck had been holding a speed for a long time and then if you floored it hard the SES light would come on then go off after about 30 seconds of it being on.
This is all I can think of. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. There is snow falling and I would love to have some fun with this thing before heading back into the city.
