    Smooth startup followed by loss of power

    It turned out to be the ignition coil, it had a hairline crack along the bottom end where water was going up into it. Went to the auto parts store to grab one and ended up with a full ignition tune up. Oh well I guess, at least now I know I need to do an upper intake gasket because cylinder 8 is...

    Smooth startup followed by loss of power

    Smooth startup followed by loss of power

    I've read that the pickup and the ignition (resistor?) Before the cap can cause this problem if they begin to go out but don't quit immediately "inspirational quote" - someone

    Smooth startup followed by loss of power

    5.9 1998 1500, it starts fine and idles alright but once I get going at random points it becomes so bogged down it's undrivable, idling just barely above 250 rpms. It has happened more recently when it is wet outside, hell of alot of rain in the north of Indiana lately! I don't know how well it...

    Random RPM drops while accelerating

    Check your o2 sensors,ake sure they are reading correctly. I'm facing this problem myself and I've been digging deep in the interwebs it's not a simple answer but it's a place to start. This issue is cause by multiple components it turns out, ranging from fuel to ignition to your battery...

    Brake tube, what is its purpose?

    The light works and it has brakes. I followed the line and it's plugged up at the body. It is a rubber hose that runs into the block for the brake lines "inspirational quote" - someone

    Slow to start when it's cold

    Now I do have a can of sea foam lying around, would it be better to run it through the fuel or through the intake slowly? Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    Slow to start when it's cold

    I've read a few of the topics on no starts but from what I've found I don't think they apply to this case. I recently purchased a 1998 dodge ram sport 4x4, it sat for a year and needed a jump and a new battery put in after we diagnosed the battery was shot. When it started it spit out all the...
