spary one line at a time when the truck is idleing if it bogs down when you spary that line its bad if it dont at all its good
to check the tbi gasket spray brake cleaner on the outside of the tbi around the bottom of the whole thing if it is bad it should bog it down
also check your idle air control valve if its all gunked up it can cause ruff idle
i have a picture of the idle air control valve on my profile pictures
the iac is located on the pass side of the tbi it will be a brass colored thing with a plug that has four pin connection and it will need a rather large wrench or cresent wrench to get it off
clean it up with cleaner tbi cleaner put it back in and see if it still does it also
check your intake manifold gasket by spraying some wd40 or brake cleaner on it if its bad it will suck it down and cause it to bog down

Wow, thx for all the info! Guess I've got some work to do.
that will cause alot of the problem also you might wanna check the tbi gasket to do this and to also check the vacum lines get some brake cleaner or wd40 whichever

Started trying to troubleshoot an O2 sensor code. I have been getting a bank 1 sensor 2 code (drivers side after cat). So I swapped O2 sensors from the drivers side to the passenger side to see if the code follows the sensor. I cleaned them while they were out - which I am not going to get my hopes up that it will fix the issue. They were a real **** to get out!!!!!!

drove my first semi truck
well it isnt my truck but its my company i work
it was a manual trans
and an older truck so the clutch was really hard to push down i practically had to stand on it plus the stick was way hard to get into gear i knew the gears just it slips out when ever it wants to
lol so im gonna try to get more practice with the 06 we got which is much better for shifting and clutch
