Weak acceleration, hit or miss power spurts

[ad80721]

2004 Ram 1500 2WD Hemi, I was attempting to accelerate on the freeway ramp and get it up to speed and it seemed to struggle. It would hover around 50 mph and wouldn't smoothly transition to my 65 mph target speed. Out of the blue it burst up to 65 mph, runs steady and normal, then just as quick drops down to 50 ish. Spurts up again and is good til I get to my exit ramp. When I take off after stopping at the ramp, it struggles to get up to speed again. Eventually I get it up to the 50 mph speed limit, it runs sluggishly, than on the outskirts of town it spurts up to power again. Anyone got a guess?

How many miles since last tune up?
Is it sputtering n bucking? Or is it running smoothly just no power?
Any codes?

So if you aren't getting any codes, it sounds like either a fuel supply problem (failing pump, clogged line or clogged filter) or possibly a very dirty throttle body.

I'd start with the easy stuff and look at the inside of the throttle body. It may be sticking or hanging up due to carbon build up.

Bad gas with water in it.Also take in mind gasoline has alcohol in it does draw water and old gas will make it run like crap too.Before pulling everything loose Pour a whole bottle of seafoam of Berryman B-12 in the tank and see if that helps.
