No, and No. They still look new (as they are only a couple of weeks old) and have the shields on them for added protection.

 

sounds good

 

What wires do you have on it and how old??????


Also a intake leak or stuck valve could be the culprite. Lets not go there tho.....

 

dodge wires 2weeks old. if it were a stuck valve wouldn't I have the problem across the rpm range?? From what I can tell I don't believe that it is an intake leak. Wouldn't that cause the fuel to lean out and get engine ping? it doesnt ping. Yesterday I went to go drive it drove 50mi. or so and no problems. shut off the engine for an hour or so went to leave and on an easy accelleration at about 30mph it started to chug backfire and cut out. I tried to let it keep going to see if it wold throw a code but the thing just took off running fine. it doesnt do it at cruising speed 55-75mph at all. or if taking off fast. only if being easy on it and between 15-35mph or so. it it does start to act up all I have to do is gun it and it's fine.

 

Try this, I learned this trick from the guys @ firestone.
1. In an open space put it in park
2. Then put it in drive.
3. Floor it for about 50 feet.
4 then slam on the break.
5. Just when you come to a complete stop turn it off, then turn it back on.

This is what they do here in Tx to throw codes for emissions testing

 

-K-

This is what I'm thinking.

It could be a fuel pump or regulator. Do a presure test on the outlet on the drivers side port on the fuel rail. It should be a least 50psi. New is 54psi.

The crankshaft sensor is the pickup sensor located under the distributor.

The weird thing is the first post you did. It just throws everything off? Almost sounds like a PCM.

 

When it acts like this is there any drop in voltage?

 

The crank sensor is located behind the engine by the tranny. I found that people call the pickup sensor and the cam sensor the same. also when I called Auto Zone they priced me for a pickup coil and a cam sensor.
I was hoping that it wouldn't be the PCM but it is a possibility.
I don't have anything to test the fuel presure so I'll need the mechanic to do that.
If it were the fuel pump or regulator, wouldn't I have problems all the time?? I mean, that if it were a low fuell presure problem and it starts to act up and I mash on the throttle wouldn't it get worse?? In this case it makes it run better.

 

I havent even looked. I will the next time.

I want this problem fixed. I miss my truck. and the wife misses her D.

I am working second shift (6pm-6am) the next 3 days. so, it will be a few before I get a chance to try anything.

 

sounds interesting. I'll give it a go!
