Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Engine Problem?

[TFlower]

Have a 1995 Auto with 145,000 miles on her. Most of which has been easy going . Started noticing about a year ago that when the engine is warm to hot, like after towing for a long period of time, when I stop to idle, the engine starts to wobble and the longer I sit, the worst it gets. Just noticed it again last night. Almost like it was trying to run with one plug not firing (if it were a gas burner). Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Fuel supply and Fuel Return rubber hoses coming from the engine to metal fuel lines on the body.

You want to make sure your idle is where it should be. That is at least 750 in D with the AC on. My '95 needs an idle adjustment every so often.

Don't think it is the fuel lines or any other line like that. The entire truck shakes coming from the engine. At idle, the truck is hitting 750rpm's in park. If I rev it up to abot 900-100rpm's it stops. Has me stumped. Runs great otherwise. Like I said, it is like it is blubering or starving for fuel. Only does it when the engine is hot.

Too slow idle. It should be at LEAST 750 in D with the AC on. That is about 900 or so in P.

Your idle is too low adjust your idle to 750-800 in drive and you will have eliminated your problem.
