So this is what she did today...

I pulled out of one lane and romped on it to get to the "left turn green arrow" that I needed to make, so pedal to the floor for about 3 seconds. I didnt make it so i let off and ease on the brakes to the stop line... I'm idling for no more than 4 seconds when the truck kinda surges, not a smooth rev but a very rough sudden jerk to about 2000 rpm and then studders but recovers fine, idles happily for the next 4 minutes waiting for the light, and then runs fine all the way home, which was 20 miles @ 75mph and 20 miles @50mph.... I'm clueless what this could be? Any one have any ideas?
 
Hahaha well alright then... I dont have a code reader, the SES light is on from the MAF sensor i think, its been on for a very long time. I'm looking forward to installing the "F" computer and seeing if its throwing any significant codes. I'm hoping this is a temporary thing, as opposed to a prelude to a meltdown.
