She starts cold but slowly dies.
 
First She's an old workhorse. 1987 hardbody with 380K mostly troublefree miles, and should probably be put out to pasture.
So here's the deal. When I go out and about it starts fine, runs OK, then as i get further from home it starts to drop cylinders. The last time I couldn't get it home without a tow.
It's getting fuel cuz I can smell it as I try to restart it. It's got spark otherwise it wouldn't start, right?
So I'm thinking something with the feul air mix? Choke? This is where I throw up my hands and park it.
I guess I'm looking for simple area to trouble shoot before I take it to the pros. If this is something major then I'll just save my $$ and retire it for parts.
Any ideas.
