    drove it to school again today, basically cuz i'd rather drive a truck thats running rough then my small a** little car, anyway its back to its same bullsh!t,

    rough idle under load, stuttering and bogging on acceleration from a dead stop, and now it bucking and stuttering now and then when cruising,

    Can't you test the pressure at the rail to determine if the fpr is good or not??
