misfire/hesitation problem
I have a 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 5.2l 5 speed. Recently iv put new plugs, plug wires, cap and rotor, ignition coil, TPS, air filter, oil and oil filter. And i still have this issue, the truck fires up no problem and idles, i can rev it up and it runs smooth. But once i start driving and put load on the motor it will misfire/hesitate and stutter, it is sluggish and lacks power. But when i floor it, it smooths out and runs fine until i let off. I have checked the MAF sensor and its not that. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks. DODGERAM318

Two things come to mind immediately.
1. Did you disconnect the battery cable before doing the plugs, wires, etc?
2. Did you route the plug wires per the TSB?
If the answer to #1 is no, then pull the negative cable off the battery for a couple of minutes. This resets the PCM.
If the answer to #2 is no, or you don't know about the TSB, then go to FAQ/DIY section and search "plug wires." A thead witha link to the TSB will be there.
