Hello all, I'm new to this forum and to dodge vehicles.
To start off I have a 1999 scsb 1500 w/ a 5.2l v8 and auto trani its the slt package.
Been going crazy to try and solve my problems but havnt found a straight answer online yet.
I have recently(past week) replaced the following parts.
Tps
Iac
Ignition coil
Air filter
Plugs
Plug wires
Dist cap
Dist rotor
Both 02 sensors
Recharged the ac
The original issue with the truck was and still is rough acceleration with bucking/surging (use to sound like it was miss-firing now its just rough.
Checked the fuel pressure and I was at 50psi
Gas millage is terrible and I'm have a lot of fuel coming out of my exhaust.(coming out black and leaving a stain on my garage door)
Cat has a little rattle in it but don't think its completely shot yet
Sometimes I can take the truck and drive it around the neighbor hood for a good 5 min and then slam on the gas it will chug and accelerate poorly but after a few times of the it takes off pretty good at wot.
Still hesitates slightly under mild acceleration but if I park it in the drive and turn it off set for 1-2min and turn it back on it will run rough under acceleration again.
Seems to idle fine, no surging.
Shifts fine.
Looked it the throttle body and didnt see any puddle of oil so not sure of the intake gasket is bad.
The ac has a leak in the line but after being charged it blows cold out of the front vents but once I accelerate it switches just to defrost.
Coolant looks good and oil too so I don't think the head gaskets blown.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
