Cross posting in different sections with different trucks with the same issues: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen-ram/297486-98-dodge-ram-1500-4x4-5-9l-running-rough.html


Well really you should try asking in the right section: 2nd Gen Dakota And not cross post.


But it could be that your Throttle Body needs cleaned, new spark plugs (cheapo Champion Copper plugs), IAC cleaned or replaced, or a bad Air Charge Temperature Sensor.
