Rotted intake boot
2007 6 cyl 2.7 FIVE SPEED 152K miles
I've changed out spark plugs, coil packs, crankshaft sensor (and unrelated CLUTCH at $1200!)
STILL doing what it was originally doing !!
I've been advised to replace camshaft sensor. I am getting P0016 code, Bank 1 Sensor A.
Here's the funny thing that no one I know really understands, or will listen to me about and I feel like it could be KEY....When I drive it and it's in gear riding down the road, it rides GREAT, BUT if I allow it to sit in idle like at a light for a few minutes, the engine light flashes and then it will run like ****. HOWEVER If I come to a light, throw it in neutral and use left foot for braking (I'm getting really good at that !), AND keep the gas pedal on a little to keep RPMs at about 1500 every light, the truck never acts stupid !!!???
Does that make ANYONE think that is a 2 + 2 that could add up to 4 ??? That has to mean something to somebody ?? I'm tired of putting money into this thing, but now I have so much invested, I'm stuck getting it running right and running it into the ground. I don't mind, I really love the vehicle believe it or not !!
I've JUST gotten back to work since 'you know' and am terribly broke still scrounging for food ! Don't know how all these ppl are getting all this unemployment money !!?? Anyway, I'm thinking I should find $49 and have a real mechanic put it on a real machine and check ohms and whatever and tell me EXACTLY what is wrong. But my goodness, someone I talk to might understand the relation to keeping RPMs up and it's fine, but nothing, anywhere. I don't want to buy anymore sensors !! Sigh.
Thanks for listening !

Something a lot of folks don't realize , If you from time to time just look around the engine compartment and become accustomed to where everything is and appears, you would be surprised , with little or no automotive knowledge , how easy it is to spot when something appears different , or has changed. You don't have to be an auto genius to pick up on these little things. We take this ability for granted, but if used some, it is amazing how the images of things change and we DO notice them, but don't sometimes think they are not important.
