engine surges and dies Sign In

i have a 92 dodge Dakota it sits a lot it had been dying any time you let off the gas i replaced plugs and fuel filter. This helped but if you stop and take off easy it will surge and dye unless you get on the gas pretty good. If you put it in park and just give it a little gas it will surge up and down if you give it more gas it smooths out.


just don't won't to start buying parts i don't need.Thanks

a good place to start is checking vacuum lines for cracks and or leaks next i would check the throttle position sensor and the idol air control with a ohm meter. hope this helps Smile
