Is there any way the exhaust system is creating back-pressure or something? That might do something silly to the engine.

I know, as a plumber, back pressure is not good in pressure or waste lines.

I dunno, just trying to throw a different perspective at this. Sorry to hear about your Ram. Hopefully someone will read this thread and have something click and come up with the answer licketty split.

 

Hopefully not jareski, it would take alot to add to much back pressure like a clogged cat

 

lol wouldn't it miss or backfire or something? I don't think I would want back pressure in my septic pipes either. Ewww, have you experienced much of that being a plumber and all? ha ha Sorry.

 

Well, I got my truck back and still having the same problem. They couldn't fix it. So I am stuck with a truck that does not want to work right. Any more suggestions would be appreciated. Chrysler/Dodge could not even figure out what is wrong with it. Thanks for all your help

 

I found a wire that is close to the PTM it has PTO label on it. does that hook into the PTM? Would that be the cause? It looks like it has been off for awhile and broke off. What is it for?

 

Its orange right? Those are on alot of trucks
It should have a black end shrink wrapped around it

 

yep it does and is. What are the chances that the TPS is bad? I bought a new one last week or two and it didn't change anything. Having the company to send me another PCM because the garage said it was not communicating all the time, but I think they just wanted to run me up a high bill. The first one I bought didn't change anything either. It's gotta be something simple and just overlooking it. Did I mention that after trying to start the truck I have to turn the key completely off then turn it back on to try and start it. Seems like it has no power when i try to start it in the on position the second time. Won't do anything at all. I changed the black box thingy in the steering column. Can't think of what it is called right off. BWD Ignition starter switch is what I got.

 

Im stumped you are prolly right about it being something simple. Maybe the PCM will help.

 

Still waiting on the PCM to get here. Changed the TP sensor again. Truck getting worse. When it runs, it jerks like it tries to quit. Any suggestions.

 

Wait on the PCM to get there. Remember you have to get it flashed and all that bs
