1999 dodge ram 1500 engine problems

If you give it gas when you put it into gear will it go??? WHen was the last tuneup ?? Assuming the motor runs good ? It could have a problem with the lockup torque converter

What happens if you don't put it in gear, but give it the gas while still in park? Does it speed up quickly like you'd expect, or does it miss?

If it misses above idle with no load, I have on at least one occasion seen this clear up with a new battery. Monitor your voltage during these tests, be sure it hangs around 13-14 or thereabouts.

I have the same problem but it runs well while in park and only does this when the engine is cold??? Any other thoughts on this would be appreciated. JP
