After today my truck idled and drove like absolute crap. I had recently put new gaskets on the water pump and it seals just fine, not leaking anywhere, temperature is fine. Before hand I never over heated it or anything. It holds good oil pressure and temperature is around 200. I heard because the headers and exhaust is cherry red it could be running extremely rich. I personally thought that the catalytic converters could be clogged and is not exhausting enough. I replaced 02 sensors and replaced the CPS (Crankshaft position sensor). I read the codes before all this happened and the MAP sensor did not come up. Any feedback would be nice. I know its hard to troubleshoot when its not in person but any feedback will help.

Pretty much all it does. It starts hard, does not want to idle (does for a little bit but not long), drives like its having a horrible misfire, also the headers and exhaust run cherry hot. I am banking on the cap being cracked on the distributor.

Yea that's what it was. Cap was worn out. It backfires now but attempting to change spark plugs because they were dowsed in gas. Could be injection or I burnt a valve. Hoping just plugs. But I will find out.
