 Subject: V6 Dak Running really bad, black smoke
IP: Logged
Message:
Ok so my 2002 3.9 Dakota started running really crappy. It's gas mileage had dropped to about 1/3 of normal, it blows black smoke out the tailpipe when you step hard on the gas, it idles crappy and has next to no power.
This comes and goes randomly.
One second it will be running awesome, and the next like crap. Some days it will run fine all day, some days it will run crappy all day. There seems to be no pattern to this.
It's throwing the following codes.
0201
0206
0174
I reset the codes recently but it did also throw a code 0151 in the past
I am guessing this is an o2 sensor but which one?
There are 4 on the truck.
I cannot afford to replace all 4 at this time so I really need to narrow this down.
Thanks

0174 is bank 2, so it will be the passenger side, at least.
P0201 Injector 1 Control Circuit
P0206 Injector 6 Control Circuit
Injectors might be the real problem, O2 sensor might not be bad, just responding to a bad mixture.

That is the O2 sensor in front of the 'cat'
not the one behind it..
