I’m having issues with where it will spit and sputter when I try to crank it, eventually it will catch and rev really high. It also has barely any acceleration unless it’s in a sweet spot then it barely moves. It seems to do better when I put my battery on a charger, but I've had both battery and alternator tested. Both are good but it still eventually wears down. I’ve replaced fuel filters twice, oil, checked for vacuum leaks, bad wiring, cleaned EGR valve, I've checked all the fuses multiple times, cleaned mega amp fuses, cleaned battery terminals, cleaned ground. There are hammer marks on catalytic converter, EGR had some light brown hardened deposits in it, one spark plug wire has roughly an inch of insulation burned off from 2inch line, ground wire runs all the way down to back of starter, a black plastic piece is broken on throttle cable. I just bought this truck out of necessity and two months later realized the odometers had been removed and all except four warning lights never came on.
