New Mystery2000Zu 01-16-2008, 03:52 AM I have a 2000 Rodeo 3.2 auto with 140k miles. I started having problems recently where when I give it a lot of gas and take off fast, it will take off fast until I let off the gas, and then it runs like crap for a couple of minutes (acts like it wants to stall), and then it will start running normal. I did a tune up, changed the spark plugs, air filter, and crap like that, but it still does it. Any thoughts? I just put it in the market for sale, and I need to fix it ASAP msikdm 01-16-2008, 09:14 AM May want to consider a new fuel filter as well. Had a similar issue years ago that was remedied after changing the long forgotten fuel filter. :wink: msikdm Ramblin Fever 01-16-2008, 09:31 AM Could also be the intake manifold gasket. amigo-2k 01-16-2008, 10:02 AM The throttle body maybe carbon'ed up and needs to be sprayed out. EGR and the EGR tube and PCV may need to be cleaned out. 2000Zu 01-16-2008, 02:49 PM Could also be the intake manifold gasket. I know that has to be bad because the truck always runs rough when I first start it up in the morning, then runs great when it warms up. But it has been like that for at least a year. I have never had a problem with giving it a lot of gas, and it wanting to stall afterward. 2000Zu 01-16-2008, 02:50 PM May want to consider a new fuel filter as well.
