Message:
HELLO ALL, I NEED SOME HELP BIG TIME. I JUST SWAPPED A 5.9 INTO MY 95 DAK. IT HAS THE MOPAR PERFORMANCE PCM, 19 LB. FMS INJECTOERS, REBUILT HEADS, PLENUM PAN GASKET REPLACED, STOCK THROTTLE BODY BUT WITH AIR HORNS REMOVED AND TOP POLISHED. IT'S BOLTED UP TO THE 5-SPEED THAT CAME WITH THE SIXER. MY PROBLEM IS: IT FIRES UP FINE, IDLE IS ALITTLE ROUGH WITH A BACKFIRE OR MISSFIRE EVERY SO OFTEN. WHEN I GIVE IT SOME GAS IT STARTS LOADING UP AND THE MISSFIRES GET WORSE. TOOK IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND I COULD NOT GET OVER 20 MPH. I REALLY NEED HELP. OH YEAH, THE WIRING HARNESS IS THE SIXERS WITH #7 INJ TO HOLE 17 AND #8 INJ TO HOLE 18. PLEASE HELP, I AM ABOUT TO GIVE UP AND TAKE IT TO A SHOP, TO THIS POINT I HAVE DONE EVERY THING MYSELF AND IT IS STUMPING ME, I DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT IT COULD BE.

IT ALSO HAS A THROTTLE BODY SPACER AND K&N FILTER. I JUST DISCONNECTED THE O2 SENSOR WHILE IT WAS RUNNING AND THERE WAS NOT A CHANGE. THE HEADS WERE SWAPPED YESTERDAY BECAUSE I COULD HAVE SWORN THAT THEY WERE THE PROBLEM, I HAD PUT THE RAG OVER THE TAIL PIPE AND IT WOULD SUCK IT IN, NOW IT DOESN'T SUCK THE RAG BUT IT STILL RUNS LIKE SH$#. JUST THE O2 SENSOR SHOULDN'T MAKE IT RUN THIS BAD WOULD IT? IT IS THE ORIGINAL SENSOR WITH 116000 MILES ON IT.

What truck did the PCM come off of? Is it a PCM for a 360? The 360 is also externally balanced. I would go up in size on injectors to 21# or 24#, 19# is a little small I think. Can't help much on the injector wiring, but I remember seeing several posts on this subject.

Try this question on the dakotausa.com boards. Alot of guys over there have done engine swaps.

Just don't yell at them.

Probably crank sensor/flywheel. You do realize a six fires different then an 8?
