Dodge 3.9 magnum rough idle, black soot, rich fuel smell, no check engine light, stalling problem
Couldn't find the problem with my Dodge Dakota. Looked online with nothing to answer my questions. Replaced everything like everyone else. Finally was shown the problem. 30 dollar fix and 45 min.. wish I had known this first to save a bunch of money. Hope this helps you out with this issue if you are experiencing it. Please like it if of any help to you.

    I have a 99 dakota with a 3.9L V6, having that same issue right now. Keeps stalling out, and I went through a whole tank of gas just to go home from work today. I replaced the injectors, spark plugs, the intake hose, air filter, fuel pump. All that. And it only gets better for 5 minutes until it gives up on life 😂😅

    YEAH SCREW OREILYS !!! They took my mom “ To The Cleaner’s “ so to speak .. She went in for something simple come out with a “ New” Transmission that slammed every time she gave it gas and was told that’s normal for a “ New “ Transmission “ ASS WHOLES!!! I wasn’t around and. Never heard of any issues to her car and the times I had driven it the transmission worked fine but yeah transmission mounts fix themselves atleast that’s what they told my mom.

    I appreciate your analysis and diagnosis of your problem. I too suffer from.. ..the disbelief of professionals. I'm an old man.. I inherited a Dodge Dakota with similar symptoms. You are very correct in your description of.. 'don't fix, what is working'. I am almost 70 years old. This truck suffered from neglect. I have made this, "Magnum 6" destroy back tires, without trying. There is a lot of fun and safety here. I will... follow up on your fine advice....

    lm literally going through the same thing with my 03 Dakota. Oreilly clerk randomly suggested the coolant temp sensor and sure enough it worked. After I replaced everything else! Keeping the TPS sensor clean of carbon deposits around it made a noticeable difference. And the throttle intake clean of carbon deposits so it will idle and slowly accelerate without stalling.

    • @johnswinamer8520
      @johnswinamer8520 Před 3 lety

      If its faulty it will tell the ecu the engine is cold/needs more fuel, even when it is warmed up...thus flooding the engine with fuel- making it run bad/stall especially when idling ....or Tells the engine it is warm when its actually cold, not giving enough fuel during cold starting- making it hard to start.

    My '01 RAM B1500 van , same engine starts up fine but starts popping, cracking and backfiring about 1 minute after if I start it 30 minutes to 3 hours after a hot start. I can shut the engine off and restart or hold the throttle to the floor until whatever is going on with it goes away. No OBD II codes. I thought it was a lean condition but the other day I smelled gas like it's actually flooding out. It never does this on a cold start or if I restart the engine within 15 minutes after a hot start. Something tells me the ECU is going into a closed loop 1 minute after starting the engine when it should be ignoring something like the O2 sensor. Perhaps the heated element in the O2 sensor is burned out but will still read once the exhaust heats up.
