2000 Ram 1500 sputtering, revving issues
Hi all, New to the forum!
Im working on a buddies truck which is a 2000 ram 1500 with 360 magnum with only 130k on it. Im more knowledgeable about the diesel side of dodges, that said im running into some weird issues with his truck. First off when you start it up itll run fine maybe a very small miss here and there, then when you go to drive it sometimes falls on its face and run rough with half throttle, go to pull in somewhere and it will berally run or sometimes die.
First thing i told him was a tune up wouldnt hurt and might fix the issues. He only got plugs and wires so i put those in and cut off the catalytic converter. Without putting a piece of pipe on i started it to see if anything has changed. Load as all ****, i fired it up and when i just tap the gas peddle itll rev up to 1400 rom and stay there by itself for about 5-10 seconds and come back down, Which he said would happen sometimes before i ever touched it. There are no codes on the PCM or ECM, so it leads me to believe its something mechanical not electrical.
I havnt wrenched on a gasser dodge in a long time if anyone can throw me some advice it'd be greatly appreciated! thanks!
