This is a 1 owner truck and have started to have problems at startup for a good length of time now. It seems to be progressively getting worse. I recently had the plugs replaced and ran fuel injector cleaner through it also. I changed gas stations. I also had it in the shop to try to have the probelm occur with them and it didnt. Also they found no codes.
These symptoms are sporadic. Sometimes it wont start (its turning over fine). Other times, it will crank but gag and die if I give it gas. After about 1-2 minutes its running fine. I have noticed it missing during this 1-2 minutes also. Cold weaher isnt an issue. Family mechanic says egr valve but I beleive it doesn't have one. Correct me if I am wrong. It doesnt seem to matter if its a cold start or I run into a store and try to start it.
I dont want to start "trying new parts" if I dont have to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
