 Subject: Idle drops sometimes??
IP: Logged
Message:
I have SC 98 2wd V6. I've done all recommended maintenance. Like changing PCV valve and spark plugs, lubricants ect.... As per owners manual at recommended intervals with Dodge,Mopar recommended parts. Every once in awhile either at the start up of the truck or at a stop light, at engine idle the engine will start to lag or die on me, RPM's go from 8 to 900 to 300 or stall. Suggestions on possible cause? Keep in mind I follow the rules and change everything thats why I'm stumped on the problem. It runs fine most of the time I would say 99% of the time, problem only happens about 2 to 3 times a month.

Clean your IAC and check tour TPS voltage .35 to
.7 volts. center wire and ground.
Remove IAC and clean with carb cleaner but do not
pull push or twist on the valve
It could be many things but this is the best place
to start

Thanks J and J auto I'll check it when I get off the base tonight. One more question if you don't mind I've asked on the forum before and I did all the things people suggested, no luck. My AC system is properly charged, compressor works properly and pushes the proper PSI through the system, no leaks but air temp coming through vents is not 35-40 Degrees cooler than outside ambient temp. I was told it was humidity but now its winter and at 60 degrees with almost zero humidity outside. What is your thoughts? Do you think it could be a dirty evap core. Cause I can't get to it without ripping the dash out and having to discharge my AC system and I don't really want to do that.
