Truck was throwing P0171 and/or P0174, P2196, idling poor and sometimes stalling out, random misfire hiccup feeling occasionally but no misfire code...
Replaced the vapor canister purge valve. Problem solved.
So It was time to clean the MAF, executed that quick mission and then also decided the drop the spare as it was a warm day and wanted to make sure it wasn't seized up. While I was there I checked the FPDM and holy fudge!!! Thing was in shambles, went to the parts store and got a replacement for $80 bones. Ya could have ordered online for $55 but I couldn't wait. If you haven't checked it check it!

I plan to check mine when the weather warms up at least above 50. No problems but I need to check it.
I had changed my fuel filter about a week ago and the idle was only bouncing from about 500-800 in the rain this past week figured something was off now it's a solid 650, pulled apart the casing of the FPDM digitally with great ease and the panel was all covered and filled with salt and corrosion

Well its been less than a week since I did the relearn and my MPG average on the dash read out has gone from 13-14 down to 9-10. This all started after I had a miss on number 2 and swapped the coil. I then had a miss on number 7 and replaced boots and springs on 6 of the 8. No misses or codes. Runs as it always has just reading bad MPG. Im going to run some injector cleaner though her this weekend... maybe the miss fouled one of the injectors and its working less efficiently? Air filter is good, haven't changed the fuel filter though. No codes. Any other ideas other than changing the plugs which will come in a couple/few months when I have money and the weather warms up?
Finally got my black leather OEM shifter handle! Decided on black stitching (came grey). Couldn't find a maroon/burgundy to match the seats. Feels so much better to the touch! Turned out great!
