| Description of the problem | After one week of ownership, on 9/2/06 the truck dieseled when started for about 5 minutes before idling. It could not be turned off. When it finally idled, the check engine light was lit, it idled rough, knocked when accelerating or under a load and the gas mileage dropped as i was driving about 2 miles per gallon. From this point on, it was hard to start. This happened with 1000 miles on the truck. It was taken for service and the dealer told us that the catalytic converter and oxygen sensor was defective? This seems to be the result of this problem and not the problem as upstream fuel/air mixture problems cause leaning/riching which will manifest itself as cat or oxy sensor defects. These parts were replaced and 1 week later the check engine light has re appeared. *nm |
