Subject: 1994 dakota rough idle and hesitation
IP: Logged

Message:
Heres the problem, My truck is hesitating at normal thottle, and at idle it runs rough, until it stalls. Its a 1994 3.9 4x4. This all started happening the other week when i ran it out of gas. Not really my fault, but my gas guage is broken. I just put a f&B thottle body on a few days before and i loved the power increase. Could this have something to do with it? I know i have a busted plenium gasket, could it have gotten worse and be causing this problem? Or could this be a fuel problem. I just replaced my fuel filter/regulator like a year ago. I also ran some lucas fuel injector cleaner through it, and it helped a little. Any thoughts?

Check the fuel presure,

around 45 pounds and should hold it for a few
hours.

Running out of gas is a good way to kill a pump

check you plugs cap and rotor

Larry another question. I am just going to replace the pump when i do the body lift next week. I have a black magic electric fan. What can i use to contol it. The fan already the temp control on the top, but where do i hook it up too? And what about the stroker kit your using. Is it all custom? I reset the computer last night, And the truck ran better. But within a few hours it was back to hesitating and the check engine light is back on. thanks.
