hi ev1, im new here and have a problem with my 1998 dodge ram 1500, 5.9 gas, 2 wd.
I guess this is the year evy thing that can go wrong, is going wrong. I have had this truck 8 yrs now. I do all my own work, and in the past 6 months i've put almost 7 grand in this truck. A rebuilt 518 tranny, new JBA shorty headers, magnaflow s/s cat and cat back system, new radiator new a/c, new plug wires and dist. cap and rotor button.
Last month i get in it to go to work, and the check engine light is on. I got 201, 301, and 204 codes. I know that 301 is misfire, probably spark plugs, which the truck has 1 yr old E-3's, i pulled all plugs and found yellow glaze on cyl. #1, which tells me running a little hot. I cleaned all plugs and reinstalled. 201 & 204 are injector codes which i have replaced.
The truck runs, but lacks any power untill about 2k and above RPM, but it still runs rough.I have started this truck at least 10 times scince replacing injectors. No codes are popping up. It feels kinda like the cat is plugged up, but it surely shouldnt be, being 6 months old.
I have checked evy thing from compression to checking with noid lights to pressure in the fuel system, which came up to 50 PSI. My book says 35-45 PSI. Could this be pressure issue?
Any critisism or advise is welcome. This motor is a Jasper rebuild and has only 56k on it, the truck has 156k on it.
