93 Dodge Dakota barely runs when accelerating from stop

[Josh]

I have a 93 Dodge Dakota that will run fine for a short time (1 mile or so), then if I come to a stop and begin to accelerate the engine will miss badly and almost shut off. I first noticed the problem on the higway when I had a sudden loss of power and couldnt get back over 55 mph. Since I have replaced fuel filter, sparkplugs, wires, dist. cap, and rotor, but it is still doing the same thing. Also, it idles perfectly in park, and I can bring it up to 3-4000 RPM and hold it there without the engine missing at all. It seems the problem starts only when engaged in drive. I would really appreciate any info. Thanks.

my 1993 dakota is doing the same thing I also would like to know what that is

[I hate Dodges]

ME TOO!! Mine dies at 55 mph, can't get back over 1500 RPM. Once you come to a stop, it will recover and you can drive about another 10 miles.

CHECK THE FUEL PUMP FIRST ,THEN FOLLOW THE LINES THERE MIGHT BE A PIN HOLE CAUSEING IT TO SUCK AIR UNDER A LOAD ,CAUSEING IT TO WANT TO DIE OUT,IF THAT DON'T WORK TRY CLEANING OUT THE FUEL INJECTION ,YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF ,BUT IT IS EASIER IF YOU GO AND GET IT DONE BY A EXPERT ,COST AROUND $69 UP HERE ,IF THAT DON'T WORK CHECK YOUR PICK UP COIL IN THE DISTRIBUTER ,GOOD LUCK MOPAR RULES

its your computer ecu my truck is doing the same thing i hooked it up to the scanner and the only code that came up was some stpuid ecu error refer to dodge
so i called them and they said to change my ecu and it will be all better sorry to let all you guys down but thats what are problem

i have a 92 3.9 auto with 56k on it. it will back fire and stall at 1500rpm. if i floor it for a few seconds it takes off.if ran hard for 15 minutes it is fine. thought it was a clog cat butit wasnt. changed coil,cap,button, crank sensor.dont understand how it will eventually fix it self and run perfectafter 15min of not going 5mph down the street.

[jsammons]

try the cat. or the map sensor. tdhen the ground for the sensor. mine did it to and it has 300,000 miles on it.

Mine did this too. I replaced the EGR sensor and it seems to be running fine. Hope this helps.

i have a 1996 dakota,was idling fine,then let out on clutch it would just act a fool.guy at shop told me to replace the oxygen sensor.did that it's been working fine every since.
