hey guys, I have a 96 dodge Dakota v8 5.2 318. I am having some trouble with the truck and cant figure it out. When I let off the gas the rpms drop extremely low then the truck dies. I don't notice any dash lights on when it happens doesn't matter if the truck is cold, warm or at regular temp. Mostly happens when driving in town with speeds about 20-30. when it stalls she will fire back up sometimes the rpms will drop and stall, sometimes it will stay running until I let off the gas again. I have already changed the Intake gasket from hughes engines had problems with that about a year ago. changed the IAC. cleaned the TB, cleaned the tps awhile ago, according to my alldata.com and a dodge manual there is no EGR on this truck, have no vacuum leaks. no DTC's are stored and no engine light.. Can any one plz help me with this?

 

I had a similar issue with my 92. It turned out to be a bad vehicle speed sensor. The truck threw a trouble code for it though. Another symptom of a bad vss is daylight running light failure. Are yours working? Also, a bad vss will mess with the cruise control. Check that as well.

 

Where is the speed sensor located?. Lights work fine

 

Is if 4wd? If so it's on the side of the t-case. If 2wd, I think it's on the tranny somewhere.

 

its 2wd
