 Subject: HELP!! Fuel Injectors? tps? POS?

Message:
I have a 99 Dakota with the 5.2. Have been having some problems with power since I bought this truck used about 6 months ago. Anyhow just curious as to how do I know if my injectors are clogged or near clogged? I have already changed the plugs, cap, rotor, wires. The truck runs smooth, but lately I have been noticing it getting a bit rough at idle sometimes. The other day I was in second gear (manual) and it started bucking. I was only going about 10 mph. Then once it stopped the truck took off VERY fast...or at least compared to what it usually takes off at.

Throw some fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank.
I do about twice a year. It's recommended more often but I don't put alot of miles on.
Also wipe out the throttle body with a clean rag and then spray some carburator cleaner through the butterfly valves into the throttle body.
It's an easy job and costs pennys to do yourself.
It may not be the fix to your problem but it certainly won't hurt either.

Thanks I will try that this afternoon. I am hoping it is something easily resolved. I am young and have a baby on the way...so money is really tight...even with two jobs
