Always appreciate your input to this community! Short story. We had the '96 sold on Saturday. Everything was fine until I went out to run an errand on Sat. night and truck would not start, turned over, no start. Walked back into the house shaking my head and said to wife "great, finally found a buyer and now it won't start and I promised to deliver it Monday". Could not figure out what happened as it has been running great including the test drive that afternoon. Then remembered a discussion here some time ago about the MAF and how an insect in it can cause issues. Got up early Sunday morning, took the air filter housing and MAF off and sure enough there were two insects caught in the mesh. Blew them out, installed and sure enough started right up. Needless to say sweetie was happy that time spent on this board came to the rescue. Don't remember who posted that info but a big "thanks"
Saved me from the embarassment of telling new owner "sorry but I just towed it to the dealer!"
