    Engine not warning up to normal operating temp.

    Well, sorry it's taken so long to update. I just got around to tearing the truck apart today. The thermostat definitely isn't stuck open. I'm getting ready to run to the part store to get a new gasket and going to replace it anyway since I've got it out. I called Dodge and the temp sender is...

    Engine not warning up to normal operating temp.

    Okay so with the intake issue on hold for now and trying to solve the temp issue. Here's what I've found this far. Update: my interior temp gauge is reading around 160-170 but my scanner is telling me that my ECT temp is 91° My scanner pulled a P1281 thermostat inactive. Using a IR...

    Engine not warning up to normal operating temp.

    I do appreciate your advice and will start with my multimeter and check the coolant temp sensor out and report back. I'm going to do some research now on how to diagnose an intake leak. I'll bet you're right.

    Engine not warning up to normal operating temp.

    I've read that if the thermostat stuck open it wouldn't allow the truck to go into closed loop therefore using more gas since the PCM believes the engine is still cold. Is there a way I can check to see if it's the plenum leaking or an intake leak so that I don't have to tear into without...

    Engine not warning up to normal operating temp.

    I'm having a problem where my engine isn't warming up to normal operating temperature. This all started after I changed my plenum gasket and added a Hughes plate. Since I had everything taken apart I decided it was a good time to change a few parts so I installed a new duralast thermostat and...

    Loss of power, MPG down, Poor throttle response.

    Pulled the throttle body definitely have some black oil pooling in the back. Maybe a soda cap full or 2

    Loss of power, MPG down, Poor throttle response.

    My PCV valve starting making a lot of noise also. I can hear it with the engine running a loud buzzing sound. Changed it just now but that didn't change anything. It's still noisy and I can feel the massive amount of air being sucked through it when I grab the hose

    Loss of power, MPG down, Poor throttle response.

    Removed the breather hose. There's a small amount of suction but not much. Sprayed around the engine bay with carb cleaner but no change in engine idle. Going to open the throttle plates and take a look now. Will check evap hoses near the evap canister soon. I literally have no power at all...

    Loss of power, MPG down, Poor throttle response.

    Hey guys just when I thought I got her running right my 01 Ram 5.2 popped codes for a large and small evap leak. My MPG are down, I've lost a lot of power, on the interstate I can smash on the throttle and it doesn't want to downshift and take off like normal. Also I'm getting a lot of noise...

    Oxygen Sensor CEL codes P0132, P0135

    Just to just to wrap this thread up it was indeed my pcm. I ordered another PCM and now all is well.

    Oxygen Sensor CEL codes P0132, P0135

    I've noticed it runs much better with both sensors unplugged. Is there a fuse for the oxygen sensors?

    Oxygen Sensor CEL codes P0132, P0135

    I wondered the same thing to be honest. Where did you pick one up from? The O2 sensor issue went away completely?

    Anymore ideas anyone?

    Oxygen Sensor CEL codes P0132, P0135

    Alright guys I'm still fighting this issue. Just to rule out the sensor itself I had the part store order a brand new NTK sensor. Disconnected the battery, reset everything, and changed the sensor. 5 minutes into my drive she started bucking and trying to stall at lights. Unplug it and it runs...

    Oxygen Sensor CEL codes P0132, P0135

    Yes I'm losing coolant for sure but my truck isn't smoking or anything. I've seen some dripping down the lower control arm but I can't visually see a leak. i figured water pump and haven't got around to changing/checking it yet. I also never see any coolant on the ground. I've filled it up...

    Oxygen Sensor CEL codes P0132, P0135

    Here's the codes in getting. My scanner won't clear them either. I don't know if it's related or not by I'm having something wrong with my ABS too and intermittently the computer clears itself every few days. Maybe this is all a PCM going bad?

    Oxygen Sensor CEL codes P0132, P0135

    Hey guys I'm narrowing down my issues with my truck but I'm having trouble determining the actual problem. I'm at my Wits end. I replaced both of my oxygen sensors with Bosch a few months ago. The truck has run like crap ever since. I thought it was the IAC but changing that along with the TPS...

    Computer Resetting Intermittently

    Hey all new here and a new ram owner. I bought an 01 Ram 5.2 on the cheap and is in pretty good shape however im having some issues with it. One of my issues is the computer resets itself occasionally. I have a CEL on due to a large evap leak. Occasionally when I get in the truck, the light is...
