Message:
i got in my 3.9 dakota this morning and started it up. it would rev up, then stall. it did that a few times until i just held the gas pedal down and drove about a mile without letting my foot off the gas. after that, the truck would run but it was really rough. almost like a backfire but not as bad. any help would be appreciated. thanks

Could be a fuel spark problem. Give more info on your truck.

My engine is a 3.9 V6. The engine stalls only when the A/C is on. It will idle but when you give it gas and let off the engine dies. Any ideas on the cause of this problem?

Is there a chance this truck is carbureted.?? It seems many older carbs do this. I have no idea or any help, but go into further detail, good details and there are many guys on here that know a lot. Good luck

I have a 2002 v6 with 20000 km on it I am having problems with the motor. It iddles rough and it knocks I have had 3 sets of hydrolic lifters put into it, then they replaced the motor. The rough Idle continues and the knocking. the truck is under warranty but this is a huge waste of time going to the dealer all the time. I was wondering if anyone had any Ideas. could it be the computer It is supposed to set the timming

Hey milky...3.9L v-6 has had a rough idle for a few years, thats not going to improve unless yours is worse than normal because of a misfire or something. Engine misfires WILL illuminate your check engine light.
Tell us more about the "knock". Often lifters are a mis-diagnosis of common spark knock conditions which can not always be corrected by mechanical repairs.
