sluggish start

havent checked but it should be good, and today it really didnt do it, it cruises fine and when you put your foot to the floor while cruising it takes right off, but at a dead stop it sputters

 

Change your filter and maybe check for some engine codes.

 

I have the same takeoff issue. We could have different problems, but i have a new fuel filter, no change from old one.

 

is this like a violent shaking kind of sputter or kinda like a bit of a miss?

 

not violent but when first taking off it sputters and bogs for a second or two then it takes off no problem and only seems to do it when its warm, during the short jots to and from work (one mile each way) its alright

i've been working 10 and 12 hour days so i just havent had time to do anything yet, maybe ill hit the parts store tomorow

 

talked to some people and did some research, sounds like my problem is caused by the EGR, so now the next step would be to

1. clean and free up egr valve due to carbon build up (cheapest)
2. replace vaccum lines incase of a vaccum leak (2nd cheapest)
3. replace DPFE sensor $50
4. replace EGR valve $150 (most expensive)

hopefully all this should fix my stuttering and correct what appears to be a miss

 

Hope it works

 

well, replaced all the vacuum lines and pulled the egr valve off and its still good, but the problem persist

 

Any other headway on this?

 

nope, since i replaced the lines i've also checked the sensor with a volt meter and it appears to still be working and the EGR solenoid appears to be good too,

i still have to change out the fuel filter, i'm also thinking maybe my injectors might be all gunked up, or maybe a timing bump might help the miss, starting to drive me nuts, and when i went muddin the other day it really was bad then, had almost no low end power
