98 Dakota 2.5L
Std Trans
177,000 mil
Parts repaced already:
Purge Valve solenoid
Cap, rotor, wires, plugs
Throttle Position sensor.
Crankshaft pos sensor.
Also tightened bolts to intake manifold.
Trying to find vacuum leak in system though code p0443 says it is a short on the solenoid circut, and I am not sure there is even a leak. Am i going to get a vac gauge to see before I mess with the hoses anymore. Might be the intake manifold gasket too I suppose since it wasn't replaced and there might have been a leak. Know more after I look at the gauge.
Main issue: motor idles good but loses power intermittently at higher RPM's. Comes back with a jolt or is okay if i disengage the clutch and slowly brig the RPMs back up. Exhust doesn't sound great, kind restricted, so it feels like maybe the Cat is clogged up, but it was replaced 6 moths ago. Posible things I have read as problems are the cat, timing, dirty fuel injecors or fuel pump
Any help or suggestions would be great.
