Default 1997 6.5 Chevrolet Needs Help

Hey there guys my truck has been acting a little weird the last week or so. It recently got cold where I live I am not sure if this played a role or not but when I am completely stopped my truck acts funny. I had my foot on the brake and the truck moved I would say an inch or so which was weird. It tries to move on its own when I am braking and the RPM's do not move at all. It idles around 800-1000 RPM. I notice that my fuel gauge also moves back and forth pretty rapidly but settles down when I begin driving. It drives fine but when I am stopped or idling she sounds rough.

Thanks, Blake

The auto acceleration sounds a PMD going out. Describe your setup, mods, etc.

I realized when I was driving that a check engine thing came on and it came back as p0118. I think my engine coolant sensor has gone but I also have an exhaust leak so I'm sure one of these are causing the problem. My PMD is also relocated so I am ruling that out.

How old is the PMD and was it new when relocated and where is it relocated???? and having a spare PMD on hand is always a good idea.
