It could be that Dodgeramman, it gets pretty high sometimes. [&:] I'll clean the TB and see where that gets me!

All I know is I had the same problem and it was the VR on my Ram. As for the VR being part of the PCM I could'nt say on 3rd gens. But if Daimlar follows the same system as the do with the Freightliners (which would make sence) it would still be in the Alt as they are with our 05's but then again they're Mercades motors.[sm=confused06.gif]

I know that I had a '91 Dakota 4x4 and the Voltage Regulator was in the computer on that truck.....'cause it went bad on me and I had the dealer replace it. Believe it or not, it was cheaper to have them do that fix. I would think the regulator would still be in the computer if it was back in '91.

I still think this problem is with the TB.....

Well I cleaned it all up today, and holy crap! I can't beleive how dirty that thing was.

This is the bottom side, where the IAC goes its really gunked up.



Pulled the IAC out and it was caked with gunk. Cleaned that and the TB up really good. While I had the TB off thought I checked the Plenum. What I found makes me sad









Is this a bad Plenum? I don't think all that craps normal, but you guys tell me if it is
