Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / March 2005'97 Dakota stumbles under load at low rpm
As the subject says, truck has 230,000kms, new plugs, wires, cap and rotor. If I let it get into overdrive at say 70-80 km/h (45-50 mph) it will stumble/studder really bad, a couple of times when cold/damp it backfired through the throttle body. If I accelerate so it drops a gear and revs higher, it smooths out as the rpm increases. I'm thinking the coil is the next thing to try, any other ideas? Todd I had a similar problem in an 84 Celica GT-S. It was the pick-up coil in the distributor. HTH Carl > As the subject says, truck has 230,000kms, new plugs, wires, cap and > rotor.

To add some detail it does this hot or cold and the odd backfire can occur at any time usually lugging in o/d at low speed (greatest load). I still have no codes, I should mention it has refused to idle (stalls unless given a little gas) a couple times in the last year if that means anything. PLEASE HELP!

Usually shotgunning parts is a bad option, but if you have changed/checked everything else then go for it. HTH let us know when you fix it, and what it was plz!

Mine gave up at 100 k, similar power problems associated. I removed mine, and had no mechanical problems since, just a code error from the 2nd sensor. >>I've changed the ignition coil and pickup coil, no change.
