Hi All

Going crazy here. In July, Dakota started bucking while driving (any speed), but then would run fine. After all I've replaced, still doing it, and stalls. Below is all I've replaced.
coil
dist. cap and rotor
plugs/wires
EGR
02 Sensor
TPS
Map sensor
Crankcase pos. sensor

So frustrated, any ideas?
Thanks, new here

 

It starts but will stall?

Other possibilities. ASD relay. Fuel pump. Check your fuel pressure. Fuel injector.

 

Thanks Bronze, yes it starts right back up after stalling

 

Read through the FAQ page.It is very helpful even if it doesn't give you a solution to this problem.
Check for codes. FAQ page tells you how with just the key.
Check the oil, gas level.
Consider doing a compression and leak down test.

 

Check the fuel pressure first, Are you aware of the plenum gasket issue? Look down the throttle body and see if you see oil.

 

Plenum gasket issue? Please elaborate? Thanks

 

My Dakjota has NO ASD relay in the fuse box.....?????

 

The relay box is in the engine bay just in front of the driver side wheel well. Read the FAQ page it tells you about the plenum etc. The gasket between the intake and the bottom plate (plenum) fails and allows oil to leak into the intake.

 

You can’t find where the relay is or you found where it’s supposed to be but there is no relay in it? Which one?

 

I found an empty relay space where that relay is supposed to be. Head scratcher.
