Truck is acting moody
« on: March 06, 2015, 04:54:54 pm »
One morning Dale remote started her and when he finally went out to go to work, she had turned off and wouldn't start. The temp gauge has moved, so it had been running for a while. Later, I went out and started her with the key and with the remote start. She started like a champ both times! (She does have an exhaust leak right before the muffler, I found.)

So he tried to take her to work again the next day and made it two miles and she shut down. He limped it home and grabbed the Durango for work. Can you lovely people help me with a starting point?

We are planning to pull the air cleaner and throttle body off and clean out the throttle body this works. Where else should we look?

Just a reminder: 96 Dakota with the Magnum 318 and 207k miles.

She's jealous of all the time you've been spending with the girls.
