No problems whatsoever. Then a week ago I got up in the morning to go to work, went to start and all it did was just turn over. Mechanic changed both coils to get it to start, but it was running real rough. He said he adjusted the timing, also, but said I needed a complete tune up. Idled fine, but missed as you took off, and when you were at highway speeds,with no load on the engine. I changed spark plugs, plug wires, distributor, distributor cap, rotor, and air filter. Now, it's like it's not getting enough gas. You can hear the air sucking in the intake, but when you give it gas, rpm's increase very little, and it's not enough to get the truck to move.
