Subject: Black smoke and stutter
IP: Logged

Message:
Excuse my ignorance but this is the first dodge ive owned and so far i cant get it dialed in.

1st. the truck blows black smoke when started then when under heavy acceleration
2nd. at best the truck gets 10mpg! its a 1997 v6 dakota 2 wheel drive auto (im sure it should get more!)
3rd. at stops the truck will stutter and idle high and low

ive cleaned the iac, about to change the bank 1 o2 sensor since check engine is on

can i move the timing? what is the timing set at??

any help will be greatly appreciated!

You can not set, move or adjust the timing.
Instead of guessing have you checked the codes since
you said the light was on?

What are the actual codes you got? There are no codes for "t/b sensor dirty" or "dirty injectors".

It does sound like a bad O2 sensor.
