dont quote me but i think you may need a new dash unit .its all electronic and its thrown a wobbly

I agree with Theo. Personal expirence with same issue after countless attempts to re enact symptoms and being stuck at the wrongest time possible...the issue was not just I S C valve but also in throttle body passages which isc is mounted at . Excessive carbon build up will not allow pintle of valve to seat properly and pending on temperature to much air and not enough fuel equals bad running condition. The valve extracts out and inward as demanded by ECM. So it's like flipping a coin sometimes it seats properly other times it don't. .. hence your interment problems. Replacing isc alone won't completly take care of problem without body passages cleaned cause your only fixing half of your problem. Here's a discription of your system

I have a suggestion. Pull the fuel pump relay out, then wire a 10 amp DC ammeter in series with the fuel pump, using the connections that used to be through the fuel pump. Start the engine, and watch the fuel pump current. Does the current level fall off, indicating the fuel pump is losing pressure, and therefore failing.

run the fault codes and check for a reverse servo/solenoid problem

Hi,normaly if the stem cills are worn it would smoke on start up,as when the engine is switched off oil will pass the cill and couse a puff of smoke untill the oil burns off,it could be that the head gasket has a falt where oil leaks strate into one of the cylinders,or maybe the where the car had not been started for awhile the piston rings might have frosen a bit,you could try a engine flush and see if that helps,in the past I have used a aditive called slick-50 which gave good resalts,remeber as I have not seen the car this is all food for thought,hope this was some help,hope you sort it.

Reconnect all the OEM wiring as it was from the factory is the only solution. This truck comes with a factory security system, why was another installed?

Hi Fred: I;d be checking the cps.

You will be needing to take the radio head out of the dashboard and take it all apart to remove the CD's. Unless you are an expert here, wisdom will say you may not be able to get it to ever work again. Fortunately, there are places advertising on the computer that can fix these for you. I would try one out. I have, and it worked for me. God bless your efforts.

tune up,fuel filter.

Take your car to your local parts store. Most will check your code for free. See what the code indicates is the problem.

If your vehicle is equipped with one,you've most likely got a defective brake/stop light switch.It will cause the brake lights to stay on continuously,not come on at all or prevent the shifter from moving out of park.If this switch is bad,it can cause just one of the symptoms above to occur or all of the symptoms above.So in otherwords,the brake lights can still be working just fine,but it can still cause the "shifter is stuck in park" issue you're having.However if your brake lights aren't working correctly,that's definitely a sign the switch is bad.

The spring is broke

Yes Disconnect the battery lift the truck and disconnect all the hoses from the thank,support the tank and lose the two strap holding the tank, lower just a bit and disconnect the electrical connector from the pump, lower the tank all the way. Before open the fuel pump locking ring,blow with compress air around the dirt. don't let any dirt fail in the tank. Good luck

Yes it is In the fuel tank

you have a leak is my guess. check for any fuel leaking under your hood and replace anything damaged or worn out seals before you have a fire
