my fun for today... - lillitnn92 - 02-02-2005
ok, this morning i went for coffee. i skipped work today
so i went B.A.M., got my special drink, came out and started the truck. the oil light was on and i heard some ticking noise. didn't think much of it at first, thought i'd go home and put oil in it and be alright. so then around 2:30 i was going to go to Lowes and get a water hose for our place, but first! more coffee. i came out got in a started the truck. this time i thought i would try and figure out where it was coming from. i happen to noticed it wasn't coming from inside, but from underneath the hood. so i pop the hood and turn my head to try and find it. so i figure it sounds as if it's coming from the ignition coil, so i turn the truck off and start checking connections. i grab the coil wire, tight on the coil. then i grab the one on the cap and it falls off in my hand. i was like 
hock: hock: hock: hock: so i'm thinking i have to get to Advance and get a new cap. i laid it back on the cap and it started up. since it was driving that way the first time, i figured it would again. i drove slowly down 33. after finding that i knocked off a cap on the upper intake (rough idle) AND finding a spark-plug loose, everythings fine now 
i still can't understand how i was able to drive with the coil post broken clear off, well burnt off, but oh well!

that's what i've been pondering. i'm going to take it to work with me tomorrow and show a guy i work with. he's old and knowledgeable in this stuff, so he might have some kind of answer.

I can help. I almost ported my recirc valve yesterday - always cover open intake pipes when removing bolts directly above said pipes... Luckily, the bolt I dropped didn't slide all the way to the turbo - it got stuck in the recirc tube :oops:
