Check engine light comes on, truck spudders and smells like its dumping fuel.  
  
 Was going to replace cap rotor and wire and plug myself so I pressure washed engine while it was running and the issue went away for a couple of weeks.  
  
 New:  
  
 Spider Injection unit and all injectors  
  
 ERG, Idle sensor, temp sensor.

I have not tried that. Would that be consistent, this seems to be intermittent.
