I have a 1987 chevy s10 with a 1992 engine it is hard to start when cold it seems the engine runs on 2 cyclinders for about 2 min then kicks over to 4 cylinders. Then after that the engine high idles does not kick down after it is warmed up.I replaced wires plugs. Fuel filter air cleaner. And as of yesterday I got a clicking noise in the rear of the truck sounds like rocks hiting the truck under neath. Is this the universal joint going bad. Thank you

Check the spark on those 2 cylinders and see what you have. You may also have a bad head gasket leaking antifreeze in the cylinders. As for the noise its hard to tell whats causing that with out hearing it
