HI guys.
I had this pickup for a few months now. Was running fine and starting fine.
but a week ago I ran it a bit low on water and got hot. it started to ping under load. Found that the radiator had a hole in it.
So to date. I changed the oil and oil filter changed the spark plugs pinging has stop. motor runs find under load. but it will not stay running when you come to a stop. it dies.
any ideas what i should be looking at, Thank Airstream
 
Does it start to run rough or just stall like the key is shut off? What is the idle speed like before you drive?

Hi.
it start and run fine and smooth. just will not idle. so as you come to a stop it just dies.
It was fine when I first got the pickup. but after the over heating it will not idle.
Thank for any help
 
What engine do you have? Is it possible a vacuum hose had been disconnected while the radiator was repaired and not hooked up again?
