i have a 94 dakota with the 318 magnum i was looking at my truck today and my dad said it was a throttle body i thought it was a two barrel carb correct me if im wrong please thanks.

 

'92 and up Dakota's are all multiport injection. I'm not sure what year exactly they made the switch, possibly '91 was the last year or a carb or throttlebody type system. Either way, long time before your '94

 

yup its a throttle body. your injectors are at the bottom of each side of the intake.

 

oh could u tell me what i can buy to replace it then?

 

What are you trying to replace and why.

 

The throotle body I believe I want better throttle response so I can get up and go quicker

 

A 94 318 magnum would be a multi port injection, like JDakota92 said. 318 magnum multi ports came out in 92. The gas is injected above the intake valve of each cyl which the ecm regulates.... the thing that you think is the throttlebody is just to control the air flow into the engine. I wouldn't replace multi port injection.. its a very good injection system.

 

So how do I get better throttle response

 

Mopar PCM, MSD may improve it a little. Check the voltage off the middle wire of the throttle position sensor. (Located on the throttle body on the left side, centered on the shaft) Do this with the key on in the run position without the engine running. It should be around .7 to .75 volts. If not, slot the holes on the sensor and turn it until it reaches those values, tighten up the screws. Better Air filter, possibly a K&N.

 

I have a 1990 3.9. Does that mean mine is carbed or throttle body? I have been getting many different answers.
