Hello Folks,

My daughter has a 2001, 3.9, manual Dodge Dakota. She's been having periodic issues of the engine loosing power. This has been going on for about one week and is very sparadic. She called me yesterday and I had her take it to Autozone for a code scan. It came back bad O2 sensor and misfire in cylinder 5. O2 sensor is no big deal as far as the misfire besides checking the plugs and wires anything else I should be looking for? I believe I changed the plugs around 20k mikes ago.

She's goes to college a few hours away and I was going to drive up tomorrow to look at it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Bump.

 

i would go ahead and put a new set of plugs in it. couldnt hurt right. i hear a lot about these trucks liken auto lights the best. maybe some one els will chim in.

 

yeah autolite plugs are good, i am guess you did a full round of plug, plug wire, distributor cap and rotor right? or atleast check the plug on cylinder 5 to see if it's getting spark
