Message:
Cranked it up this spring and it ran really rough,
no power at all. Very strong gas smell and black
smoke coming from tail pipe. I looked under truck
and the back of the muffler was red hot. I assumed
the cat was stopped up. Muffler mechanic told me
to drill a hole in the pipe before the cat , in
order to drive it to the shop to fix cat. I
drilled a 1/2" hole and it didn't help. I replace
the map sensor and that didn't help. I replaced
the plugs and that didn't help. One day, I
decided to check my oil and I noticed it was over
filled. There is gas in my crankcase.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Try checking for fault codes. Otherwise, you'll spend a small
fortune and still not solve the problem. Could be leaky injectors
or a bad o2 sensor. Who knows what.

Received code 32..EGR system and code 25..Idle speed
ctrl. Have ordered these two items. If this doesn't
fix it, I'll check the injectors and o2 sensors.

Thanks for your suggestions
