    My truck is running funny

    So when its at a stop it idles fine and revs normally. But when i start driving it i feels like its all sputtery and ****ty. I was driving it on the freeway and it feels like the turbo kicks in every few seconds and stop but its not over heating and the water levels are fine. The idle doesnt change at all and it doesnt lose power, i dont know what it could be.

    Please help!

    did you put gas in it in the last couple days?
    has the engine gotten wet?

    wires

    Check your wires. Maybe one of them are loose and not getting a good contact while you are driving or hitting bumps and sh!t.
