Replying to: herbkelly (Jul 13, 2009 4:33 am) Thanks Herb for the info. I did change my coolant temperature sensor and that seems to have fixed the problem. Although, as all owners know, your vehicle loves to play little tricks on you and it may show up again. If it does, I will change the crankshaft positioning sensor as you suggested. Thanks again for the help.

I just picked up a project dakota to piddle with and here's question... On level roads, everything seems to work just fine, however, when I travel up a hill, it slows down and doesnt get over 20 miles an hour. It acts like it has a governor system on it. The transmission seems to be shifting just fine and it doesnt seem to be slipping either. My sister who is a mechanic says that it could be the passing gear...Would appreciate any ideas. tfw3
