Lately my normally trouble free Bertha is falling to pieces and most of it is weird. Almost ghostly frankly.
I guess this is just all stuff that is occurring as it probably normally would and I got spoil but man between working 14 hours days at work and coming home to fix things I am demoralized right now.
The truck is now stumbling, hesitating, backfiring, lacking power under load, when running at normal operating temps or maybe a bit hot but normal for summer. Carbs are my weak point mechanically.
Carb is a Motorcraft 2150
It seems to be idling fast and then when I take off it hesitates and acts like an angry bronco bucking and spitting But only when at operating temp or a bit over. Uphill I live in the hilly area of SF Penninsula in Belmont, CA) it just barely is getting up roads it used to just cruise up with no problems. What can it be I am assuming carb issue but after the last week could be anything. HELP!!! I'll do anything to make her feel better.
