Well Ive cleaned the mass air flow havent drove much to say if it did any difference
however all previous symptoms are back plus more
anyway the truck idles fine
with slow application of acceleration rpm increases with hesitation or stumble every now and then
with quick acceleration massive hesitation plus backfire almost continueously (hasnt blown air cleaner off but I can see the hose stretch between maf sensor and throttle body)
after release of accelerator rpm increases back to about 900 rpm and it idles smoothly
(it was idleing at about 600 before plug and wire change)
now for the new I drove up to school about 20 minute drive went back to truck after getting directions to class the truck would not start back up (nowadays normal to fire up just at second crank) after about 5 attempts the battery was too discharged to turn engine I ended up getting a jump but still had to spray carb cleaner in to get it running in cab voltmeter showed 14 volts
the backfires started on my way home the next morning battery could only turn engine 2 start attempts
now I mentioned this because this has kinda happened before when I was trying to pull that blazer 2 weeks ago I pulled over because I had to restrap the tires on blazer I shut the truck down out of habit but could not start it again until I got a jump (engine would still turn but very slow when jump vehicle arrived) then after about 20 minutes of driving the backfires started
(I know I said misses sorry that was just wishful thinking and denial)
