2002 Dodge Dakota rough idle

Jul 05, 2005 6 Replies

HI,



I have developed a rough idle on my truck. Just purchased it used. It has



88000 miles on it. Have tried the obvious so far, air filter etc. Also a stalling problem when a load is applied. Any suggestions? Fuel additives? Fuel Filter?

Thank you,


Engine? When does it idle rough? Variable rpm's? When was the last time the throttle body was cleaned? Was it idling rough before you bought it?

Answering the questions possed

3.9L V6

No it didn't idle bad when I boughtit. I have tried twice with gas and fuel cleaners Idles rough when it starts and I am sitting. When you put a load on the engine such as backing up or turning wheel. It has stalled several times.

My 01 Ram did this just before the battery went dead. Have yours tested.
