Default Help please!!

I have a 96 ram1500 with a 3.9L. it fires up fine, and runs good until it warms up. Then it starts spitting and sputtering, backfiring, and bucking. Sometimes it stalls coming to a stop sometimes it doesnt. I changed the stator but that didnt do anything. the scaner calls for a camshaft position sensor but it doesnt have one. thanks for any help i can get.

pull your 02's and spray em down with fuel injector cleaner. see if that helps.

does your model not have one? it would be in your distributor.

Start with your wires. Replace them all.

ill try the o2 snesor, and no its not in the dis. it has a ing module/stator. the truck just got a tune up a few months ago. the problem is intermitten, when it acts up its only for a few minutes then it runs good for the most part. only a buck here and there.

Did the problem begin after the tune up. It sounds to me like the same problem I had when I cracked 2 plugs doing a tune up.

Mine is doing the same damn thing it happened when my exhaust fell off and the o2 sensor finally went out i've put exhaust back on it and it continues to do it even after numoris o2 sensors< its driving me up the wall cant figure it out.

just read a thread back from 2007 he said his EGR valve was fried and blew the seal idk if this will fix the problem but im gonna try it and see how it goes.
