I've got an 2003 Lightning that runs fine when I do normal driving but as soon as I get on it, it starts missing. It doesn't miss real bad to the point where it wants to cut off, it just missing a little to wear it doesn't have the power it use to. Again it only does this when the super charger is kicked in.

I've taken it to a mechanic and they put it on a computer that he said costed $11k and everything came out ok. I've replaced the fuel filters, the O2 sensors and ran serval bottles of fuel injector cleaner threw it and it still does the same stuff.

Anyone might know what is going on?

Well it has fairly low miles so I figured that stuff would still be ok.

This may sound like a stupid question but what kind of fuel are you using? On a lighting you NEED to use Priemium fuel ONLY. Mid grade and regular will cause that truck to run rough in some ofthe ways you are describing.

Just a dumb question, but why would he tell you that his computer costs 11 grand? Does that really pose an importance to your problem?

Yeah I alway put in the Priemium gas. Not sure why he would tell me about how much it cost? lol I guess he wanted to brag a little.

I also have a K & N air filter. Could the problem maybe be something with the fuel to air ratio?
