I would replace the O2 sensors and clean the throttle body while you are at it.

Try using Mopar Combustion Chamber Cleaner (about $8 from the dealer). I was having a similar bog problem (with me, usually happened with engine cold), and used that, and the problem got better.

RE: Bogging out
ordered the TPS and o2 sensor today, TPS was $82 and change from the dealer, downstream o2 from a local parts shop $64. i will use the combustion chamber cleaner when the parts go in, is that stuff a add in fuel tank??? hopefully this goes away, or i hate to say it "the dakota will be gone".

The Mopar Combustion Chamber Cleaner comes in an aerosol can, and you spray it into the throttle body.
Thecomputer might throw a code (mine did, for misfires, because it starts to make the engine run pretty rough), but the codes do go away by themselves. Just follow the instructions on the can.

RE: Bogging out
so i installed new parts today to try and fix my problem. installed downstream o2, tps, iac. after i put them in i started it up. everything seemed fine, waited till the truck was up to temp then shut it off. i waited 15 minutes and restarted it and bam rough idle again (PROBLEM NOT FIXED) what could be causing this??? could a plugged cat do this? i am just a little confused as it only does it right after starting when the engine is hot. any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Bogging out
i am going to change the cat, soon. but now that i have put all these other parts in my budget is a little tight now. where did you get the high flow cat and about how much was is? i dont want to have to remove the whole pipe. if i can get away with cutting the old one out between the o2's and weld or clamp a new one in it would be great. is there any way to test to see if my cat is clogged???
