Message:
I have a 96 5.2 with 72 thous miles and my check engine light just came on. I noticed first it took a few more cranks to start it. Then when I tried to floor it it stumbled, it did finaly get up to speed though. The only thing i have ever done to this truck was new exhaust cat back a week after buying it. Any Ideas??????? Maybe a sensor but not sure on the one thats bad.

Just called Autozone here in Calif by my house and they said as of last year they no-longer check codes. The mechanics labor union stopped them from doing that because they were taking all the gravy away from them.....

Well alittle up-date--Took off the neg post turned the key on for 30 sec then hooked neg back on and the light went out. It's a 96 5.2 so i cant get a code to show but now no light, but engine still hesitates very bad when you floor it..????????? The light will probably come on soon again as there is still a problem....
