Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / February 20072001 Dakota
How's everyone doing? I've got a little issue with my truck and I was wondering if anyone might have some sort of an idea of what might be some possible causes and maybe some tips to correct it. The truck spits, sputters and hiccups occasionally while accelerating. It seems to be getting worse as time goes by but it is gradual. I did try injector cleaner, to no avail... I'm not exactly a mechanic but I am quite handy with a knife, fork and spoon. Just kidding... I do need a little input though.

How many miles are on it, has the basic services been performed? Plugs, fuel filter, etc. The truck has 91,000 miles. It has not had a "basic" tune up in the past 6 months. The oil has been regularly changed and I did also change the air filter about 4 months ago. > On Feb 12, 12:48 pm, "Bleeder973" <Sockdolager2k5@hotmaildotcom> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > How many miles are on it, has the basic services been performed? > Plugs, fuel filter, etc. do you have a check engine light on? > The truck has 91,000 miles.

Water in the gas, ignition parts going bad, that kind of thing. My next try would be a bottle or two of alcohol "dry gas". Also called gas line antifreeze. SignatureChristopher A.
