#67 of 68 stalling when put in gear by drclaypool Oct 31, 2009 (9:47 pm)
'99 Dakota w/5.2 engine and auto trans. 110k miles. Problem started after hard acceleration and braking to stop. The torque converter or transmission did not disengage when I stopped and the engine died. Will run with jerky shifts after I shift into gear under power but still locks up and kills engine after highway run. No Codes present. Replaced TPS and IAC motor. Rear Band has a lot of play in the adjustment. No pieces in oil pan, normal Iron sludge stuck to magnet.   Researched threads for solutions: 1.Clogged filter/lines 2. Rear band misadjusted 3. Broken Clutch spring (no evidence in pan or filter) 4. bad front clutch (how do I check) 5. stuck servo (how do I check?) 6. valve body problem 7. broken Planetary Gearset (no evidence in Pan) 8. locked torque convertor clutch   Planning on making band adjustments, replacing filter and running to check. Or should I just go ahead and disassemble the thing?   Could this be a band adjustment issue or do I have a failed (locked)torque convertor? Since there's no codes I'm thinking the electronics are o.k. I heard valve body check balls shrink and fail?   Help
#68 of 68 96 dodge dakota stalls backfires idles rough by ithappens Nov 05, 2009 (4:17 pm)
Recently I had to replace a throw out bearing in my dodge dakota 4x4 3.9. I forgot to remove the crank position sensor and broke it off while removing or installing bell housing, found out when truck would not start. Replaced it and started fine, hesitated a second and ran fine till the next day, had too pull over and nurse the gas do too very rough idle and power lose, got it going and drove 30 miles and it hesitated a split second. Next day drove 2 miles started running rough jerking, pulled over rough idle when started. left it over night and it started right up and drove 2 miles did the same thing. Replaced distributor cap and rotor, nothing. Pulled IAC, very dirty, started truck idled great, shut it off for 10 minutes, tried to start it again, woul not stay running. Replaced IAC, same roughness. Changed crank position sensor know starts but runs rough like all cylindes not firing. Help I'm losing it...LOL
