Feels like it runs rough after it warms up.. jerks when accelerating .

What is your question?

Truck sat for 7 years . I changed oil and removed front tank because it was rusted out . Rear tank looked good so I switched it to rear tank and put gas in it . changed spark plugs and wires and oil filter . It runs real good until it warms up then it starts acting up.

What makes this problem better or worse?

When engine warms up it runs rough . slight jerking when accelerate . Once it died and took 30 minutes to start again then it barely moved in first and jerkedandmade a slight ticking sound

How long has your 1992 Ford F-350 had this problem?

It sat for 7 years . Thus problem started after I drive it 5 miles

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your F-350. It sounds like your truck may have a fuel or ignition issue, possibly related to the fuel system or components that were affected by sitting for so long. The jerking and rough running when the engine warms up suggest a problem with fuel delivery, fuel pressure, or ignition timing. Since the truck sat for seven years, the fuel system may have some gunk or debris, or the fuel pump could be struggling, especially if the fuel tank has rust or corrosion. The ticking sound could indicate an issue with the fuel injectors or valvetrain. I recommend starting by checking the fuel filter and fuel pressu andas inspecting the fuel injectors for clogging. It could help to clean the fuel system with a good fuel injector cleaner to remove any build-up. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered.
