Ramcharger, Trailduster & Power Wagon Grrrr!! Tough Trucks! The Dodge Ramcharger and Plymouth Trailduster were full size SUV's that had good looks and brute strength. The Dodge Power Wagon was comparable to them in toughness, but came in pickup truck form only.

Default 1988 Ramcharger 318 TBI question...

I've had my Ramcharger for almost 5 years now and it has become my full time trail rig (it get's trailered everywhere). The last few times out it would miss when under a load but would idle perfect and run fine if you gave it gas really slowly. Sometimes it runs fine even under a full load. I've replaced the fuel pump, screen and filter, fuel lines, fuel injectors, coolant temp sensor, throttle position sensor, plugs, wires, EGR valve, etc. etc. I don't know what to think. Most of the time it runs fine when it's cold and starts acting up when it's warm. Also, if it's having a "good" day and it's running great, if you shut if off and start it again it starts acting up again. If you continue to leave it run when it's having a "good" day it will run fine until you shut it off (most of the time). Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Hmmm. I've never replaced the Hall Effect sensor yet. I already replaced the cap and rotor and adjusted the timing so they should be OK. I'll check that Hall Effect sensor out! Thanks!!
