i just got a 04 2500 5.7 Hemi, bogs down, slow acceleration, and horrible gas millage.When i get on the high way the problem stops. I threw it on a scanner, and said all the O2 sensors were bad. I replaced them, but no luck. A mechanic thats a friend of mine said it might be clogged cats. Cut the cats out, and it helpd the problem but it still acts up a little bit. I can hammer down on the gas and it clears out the problem for a while. Could it possibly be an injector? or Maybe the PCM Computer?
Didn't help. :/. Is there a way to find out if the PCM is fried? Or easy way to tell if bad injector? Another person said it could also be the timing.? I hooked back up to a scanner and all O2 sensor codes are on again. Po132 Po135 Po141 Po161. I think the O2 sensor codes might be from when the cats were cut out, there's a small exhaust leak.
You need more than a code scanner, you need to hook it up to a live monitor and see what each of your cylinders are doing, It sounds like bad spark or clogged injector to me but only a live OBD feed will say for sure. First thing is first though, fix your exhaust leak.
its not really that high end of a piece of equipment, many tuners and good OBD scanners have usb ports to output live data to a laptop. If you have any mechanically handy friends you could ask them, otherwise i'm not sure where else other than garages.
