Check all of your vacuum lines and especially the line going to the PCV valve that plugs into the rear of the oil fill standpipe.

Thanks. I will check all of these. It doesn't matter if the A/C is on or not though.

I've had a 3" body lift on for 2 years now. I hope nothing got stretched out.

Thanks again.

check the vaccuum line that goes to the throttle body. I have a 2002 dakota ext.cab with the 4.7 ad it did the same thing,couldn't figure out what it was.the hose actually split were it connects to the throttle body. It almost looks like the hose diameter is too small for the little thing it goes on to.I haven't done it yet but i got a piece of 3/8" hose with a 3/8" to a 1/4" connector gonna see if it works.
