But check your vaccum lines.

I thought my truck ran ruff because it was old, and it was a truck.

But i replaced to vaccum lines and it purrs now, also doesnt putter when i got through water.

Do you remember what the code # was?

the code is from actron # 213 spark output circut-open connection failure

Let me check on that and see what I can find. Have you checked fuel psi? Bad fuel may have hurt the fuel pump.
