Weird... ?

[strokepower]

Ok so I started up my truck late this morning.. about 11:15 or so... it was about 35 degrees outside... I didn't let her warm up as much as normal.. prolly just a minute or so.. I backed out of my parking spot.. put her in drive and began to drive down the road...

when the truck is cold she always runs a little hard.. she'll speed up and slow down on her own if I keep my foot fixed in the same spot.. she has always done that so no big deal..

anyway.. the truck started to buck like it was going in and out of 1st or 2nd gear.. i was prolly going about 15 mph or so... when it started to buck i noticed the TOW HAUL light on the dash start flashing... I slowed to stop... put the truck in park and the light was still flashing.. I pushed the tow/haul button on the shifter knob and that didn't seem to make a difference... I turned the truck off.. started it back up and it ran normal the rest of the time....

anyone had anything like this happen... I normally let her warm up a lot more than i did today so hopefully it was just that.. but

We had basically the same thing happen to our 01 Ex. I wasn't driving so I don't know about the tow haul part. But it did do the bucking and kicking and felt like it was going to die and got to the side of the road and it did die. Started it right up and took off and didn't act up the rest of the day. Ours just needed to warm up.

i think that's what was going on with mine.. i hope so.. it was weird.. mine didn't die though.. i just shut it off and started it back up and it was fine...
