#21 of 378 '93 3.9 power loss by oldrusty Aug 30, 2006 (8:52 pm)
my 1993 3.9 dakota has a persistant problem, and it is getting worse. when cold (and sometimes when warm) it will suddenly lose power and start bucking and valve rattleing like it is out of time, if I shut it off and restart it will run as it should until it does it againsometimes 3 or 4 times, while it is in the backfire , rattle sputter mode it will idle as if there is ni proble, the check engine light does not come on and i can retreive no trouble codes,???????????

Replying to: oldrusty (Aug 30, 2006 8:52 pm) Aside from the usual ignition components being suspect, it could be a clogged catalyic converter or a bad intake manifold gasket.   Regards, Dusty Replies to this message: oldrusty (Sep 03, 2006 3:57 pm)

Replying to: dustyk (Sep 03, 2006 9:17 am) Thanks Dusty, all the ignition stuff except the coil has been changed. I really hate that intermittant crap, it won't do it if you want it to. I have never experianced a clogged converter before so don,t know what to look for exactly. I tried to retreive the codes using the method in my manual but could get nothing from that. thanks again for the suggeation. oldrusty

I have replaced the coil,battery,plugs,wires,pickup coil. please can you tell whats going on??????????????
#25 of 378 heater problems by nbass Oct 18, 2006 (4:46 pm)
94' 239 2wd The heater works only well enough to slightly warm the cab. It will not get HOT inside the cab at all. Normal operating temp, normal working blower, and no leaking inside the cab from hte heater coil. Any suggestions? Replies to this message: rudako (Jan 15, 2007 7:27 pm) blk4x4 (Jan 20, 2007 1:55 am)

I just bought a 91 Dodge Dakota with a 3.9 engine. I have checked with everybody I know to determine the rated hp. Does anybody out there know? Replies to this message: kcram (Sep 13, 2006 5:56 pm)
