Hi I have a 2000 dakota 3.9l v-6. When I start my engine cold it usually revs to almost 2000 rpm before dropping to normal. Any ideas how to fix this? thx
its the choke and it is that way to naturally warm up the engine...its normal. let it be for a minute and then hit the gas real quick while in neutraland the rpm's should come down...if not, then spray some carb and choke cleaner all over the outside of the throttle body concentrating on the choke area and throttle linkage.
yea i think mine jumps when you first turn the key too, but then it drops to 900-1000(when cold) until it warms up some then drops to like 500+/- but i have the 4.7, im pretty sure my dads truck jumps up there and falls back down when you turn the key too tho (he has the 3
yea i payed attention to what mine spikes to when i turn it on and its more like 1200-1300 then comes back down relatively quickly(but its in the 60s-70s here so its kind of warm)
