    the truck either shot a plug or puked a coil. drivin down the road about 60. all of a sudden it started shudderin and the CEL was flickerin. texted a few reliable members of the forum (metro and bigun) and found out it was probably a coil. so i limped it down to autozone a few miles down the road. got my codes ran for the first time in quite a while. it turns out i have 4. EGR valve, two O2 sensors, and a misfire cyl 4.

    as much as id rather do this fix myself, but between school and work i wont have time until saturday. so im callin the mechanic tomorrow and hopefully i can drop it off while im at school thursday and pick it up on the way to work.

    i said it, what, 2 days ago? "knock on wood my truck will never blow a plug". looks like i jinxed myself
