#109 of 149 1999 ram 1500 w/low speed miss by pewamo758 Jun 16, 2009 (9:08 am)
My 99 1500 ram w 5.2l/318 developed a low speed miss after I changed spark plugs last week. It starts missing after 3 to 5 min of driving. At 1700 rpm in cruse control it really shakes bad, but no miss under hard acceleration. after 20 to 30 miles, the check engine light comes on. Replaced the plucs again and the wires this time, but no results. Any ideas?? Replies to this message: alpine_al (Jun 17, 2009 6:40 pm)

check to see if there is a possible vacuum leak or even emission leak. My check engine light came on and computer came up as emission leak. Also check your gas cap, it's amazing how a bad cap can affect the truck. If rubber is cracked or worn on inside of cap it allows air and moisture in and screws up the running of the truck......Good luck

Replying to: pewamo758 (Jun 16, 2009 9:08 am) Your low sopeed miss problem could be caused by the routing of the spark plug wires. The 5.2L is very finicky when it comes to the wires. Try this link fro instructions: http://autorepair.about.com/cs/faqs/l/bl654h.htm. Or do a Google search for the diagram. Try searching for "Coil Wire Routing (Figure 1 and 2)".

Replying to: cm4166 (Apr 18, 2009 5:33 am) I have run the truck for some time and fell that the computer reprograming has repaired the stalling issue. I will no longer make updates. Thanks and good luck.
#113 of 149 09 Ram 1500 drops idle 3 seconds after coming to stop - almost stalls by asdfdave Jun 26, 2009 (6:09 pm)
I've had this 5.7L truck only a couple of weeks and noticed this a few times now. I'll approach a signal and after coming to a complete stop - the engine will drop RPM's after a slight pause (3 seconds after dead stop), the lights will dim, the engine will nearly stall and then the RPM's pop back up and the lights are on at full-bright? Any thoughts? Is this a transmission issue? Thanks. Replies to this message: militaryqa (Jun 30, 2009 6:41 pm)

First off if this is an '09 I would be bringing it back to the dealership because there definitely should still be some kind of warranty on it. It does not sound like a transmission problem but could be a timing problem, spark plugs gap off, a break in a spark plug coil. I would first check about warranty before hand. Good luck

Replying to: asdfdave (Jun 26, 2009 6:09 pm) I bought an 09 Ram with the 4.7 liter in March. Today when I started it up and pulled away from the house, the check engine light came on. I drove to the dealership but only made it halfway there before the check engine light flashed and the idle dropped to about 500 RPMs. The engine ran pretty rough so I pulled over and called up the Dodge roadside assistance to tow it the rest of the way. The dealer has it now and hopefully I hear something tomorrow. Warranty and a loaner Big Horn edition will keep me coming back to my dealership.
#116 of 149 99 Ram 5.2 backfiring & stalls under load??? by luvmytoyz Jul 13, 2009 (2:53 pm)
I have a 99 Ram 1500, 5.2, 5-speed, 150k, 4 by 4. The problem I have is intermitted and started at about 130k miles. It can be hot or cold, when your under accelleration it starts backfiring and missing (sometimes stalls), mainly when your starting to pull in 3rd gear.  I'v changed just about everything trying to cure it after having it at the dealer and several shops. It's had everything, plugs, cap, rotor, wires, catalytic converter, and just recently a new fuel pump & filter changed. It's also been checked for vacuum leaks and fuel system ceaned. Anyone with any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated, I'm down to my last check in my book. Baffled!

Replying to: phoenix9435 (Jun 05, 2009 1:59 am) Update, over 1000 miles on new battery, no stalling, problem fixed for me. Good luck to all, try out the battery if symptoms close to mine. Replies to this message: canddmeyer (Jul 25, 2009 12:10 am) corkscrew (Jul 25, 2009 7:22 am)
