"Diagnostic Mode" 05 Dakota

Place key in ignition

click 1 click back (lights off)
click 1 click forward (guage lights on)
click 1 click back (lights off)
click 1 click forward (guage lights on)
When The mileage turns to ----------
That means it is in diagnostic mode. If there are no codes, it will say "DONE" You might have to wait for it. If you see the ----------- then you are right.
Sorry for the confusion, I sometimes forget people do not know how to do this. I am sorry.

I'm driving down the highway with the cruise control on. The check engine light comes on and engine revs down. It would only do that if I got it above 70, not under that. Eventually check engine light goes off and it worked fine. About a week later the check engine light comes on and it starts sputtering if I get it above 2000rpm. Below that it ran fine, but when it got too 2000rpm it acted like you were pressing on the gas and letting off quickly. That stopped after about 15 minutes. It ran fine for about another week. Then last night driving down the highway the check engine light comes on and the engine dies. It restarted again with no problem, and ran fine. Check engine light has gone off. Any ideas what it could be? Sounds like a sensor to me.
i had that problem where it only reved up to 2000 rpms and just sputtered after that and its under warrentee so i took it in an they ended up replacing my engine
