Bought this truck a little over a week ago, everything was great until a couple days ago it became a struggle to start. Its been cold and snowy up here in Boston for a few days now so that doesn't help. Yesterday wouldn't start at all so I replaced the plug wires cause I knew they were crap. Noticed the belt was real loose, was planning to replace it this week anyways just needed another couple days. It started no problem with the new wires. But ran like crap and I can hear a little pop type noise in the cabin now from the motor. Parked it after running for a couple minutes and then it wouldn't turn over the rest of the night. I noticed on the wires had a black shorter boot and a brown long boot. I put the black ends on the distributor. I am also getting code 15 for coolant temp sensor, the temp guage barely moves in the car but the heat does eventually warm up. This morning it started but I had to hold the gas down to turn over.
The biggest symptom I have nailed down now is that it will start stone cold and run like crap hesitating. Won't turn over when warm.
