#258 of 270 Engine power loss by kdm172 Mar 29, 2008 (2:17 am)
I have a 2002 Dodge Dakota V6 A/T 4x4 My problem is that I lose power after about 50mph I push the pedal all the way down and there is no response it will slowly get up but it takes its sweet time... Was told either the timing is off or the fuel pump is clogged by the dodge dealer, any suggestions??   Thanks, David
#259 of 270 I have a 96 Dodge Dakota V6 that will not idle. by oldman1924db Mar 31, 2008 (7:43 am)
My Dodge Dakota starts ok but you have to keep your foot on the gas peddel to keep it running. I unhooked the battery then hooked it back up. Started the truck and it idled like new for two days then went back to not idling. Unhooked the battery- hooked it back up idles ok. No check eng. light, the only code is 12 for unhooking the battery. Did'nt think to check colds befor unhooking the battery the first time.
#260 of 270 Cold Start High Idle by moquelvog Mar 31, 2008 (4:51 pm)
My 97 Dakota, as the title would suggest, idles around 2000rpm when cold. I immediately turn off and start again and it idles at a norm 600rpm. ??? No check engine and problem doesn't go away when the battery has been disconnected and reconnected. Any ideas out there?   Omen Replies to this message: syn5 (May 12, 2008 5:37 pm)
#261 of 270 1994 v6 Dakota intermintant miss by davidb3265 Apr 05, 2008 (5:09 pm)
Miss lasts for only a brief time.Usually occurs on light acceleration but at any speed. Have replaced spark plugs and wires,checked distributor bushing,tried a new EGR.The miss just goes away and will come back after a period of time from one hour to several days,the warmer the day the more likely it is to occur.I installed a new K&N air filter a while ago but can't see this causing the problem.Hope someone has a suggestion!
#262 of 270 Engine Failure on 2001 4.7 by fourdogs65 Apr 14, 2008 (10:04 pm)
Hi, I have a great 2001 extended cab with the 4.7 V8 which I love. The only problem is the engine crapped out with 170,000 on it. It has a gray sludge in the valve train due to metal in the oil. did not take it apart further to find out the exact failure. My mechanic is an old friend that I trust, and he said that the 4.7 engine is overly prone to failure and he would not waist his time with a rebuild or a used engine. He says to cut our losses and sell it for parts and start over with a vehicle with a better drive train. But we love the dakota so we are torn. Please any advice would be apreciated. Thank you, Todd Replies to this message: jebsdaddy (Apr 17, 2008 7:09 pm) dustyk (Apr 19, 2008 8:04 am) bpeebles (Apr 20, 2008 7:12 pm)

Replying to: fourdogs65 (Apr 14, 2008 10:04 pm) I have a 2001 dodge dakota with the 4.7 with 204,000 miles and counting. I change the oil every 5000 miles with no oil added between changes. I would rebuild the engine if you choose since it has been proven because 170,000 is not too shabby. I usually take "sage" advice from others like your mechanic friend with a grain of salt.   Robert
