Default Re: Truck won't idle

Unless you flushed the ethanol mixed gasoline completely from the entire fuel system, there was/is still some in your truck. Put simply, the stuff is nasty. I don't even run the stuff in my newer vehicles.

If an idle passage is blocked, sometimes I've had luck with revving the engine up, then putting the choke fully on until the engine almost stalls. I may repeat this several times until the blockage is sucked out of whatever passage it is in.
