[QUOTE="Flying Monkey, post: 12230334, member: 339334"]I need a little help please. First time owning a Cummins. Love it, great power, great sound, horrible mileage, everything we love. My issue, a couple weeks ago I notice a very slight hesitation while accelerating, like a hiccup. Nothing bad at all. Tonight, coughing and farting at the same time. Not really, its almost like the fuel is being shut off and on, constantly. Nursed it to a safe place to park. While accelerating, as the rpm's go up the hesitation interval is greater, low rpm's it's fine and idle is perfect. I can throttle up just fine when engine is not under a load. To try and maintain a constant speed, anything above 35 mph, the on/off situation would be about 1.5 seconds of fuel being supplied followed by about 3 seconds off. Thankfully a light load. Oil pressure is normal, 40psi 20 at idle. Last PM was 3273 miles ago. 150,000 miles on rebuild. Prior to a couple weeks ago, no issues at all. PLEASE HELP 1989 Peterbilt 379 NTC 855 Big Cam 4, 444.[/QUOTE]
