Hi there,

Many dodge models actually have two o2 sensors. I'm not sure if this applies to your model. If so, one is on or just downstream of the exhaust manifold. The other on the outlet pipe of the catalytic converter.

The PCM compares the readings and adjusts the fuel/air mix to keep the catalytic converter operating at max efficiency.

A malfunction in any portion of this sub-system could cause your symptoms. So let's run a test on the o2 sensor(s).

• You'll need an Ohm Meter.
• Be careful when doing this. If the lead wires on the sensors are damaged, the sensor will likely malfunction. Locate and pull the electrical connector from the o2 sensor.
• Attach Ohm Meter leads to the terminals.
• It should read 5 to 7 Ohms
• If not, replace them

Keep in mind, these symptoms could also be caused by many other things.

• Timing
• Vacuum leaks
• Bad gas
• Clogged catalytic converter
• Cracked/bad distributor
• Plug wires shorting against one another
• Weak spark
• Rich Air/Fuel mix

If your vehicle has OBD (On Board Diagnostics), you can narrow down the problem by checking for trouble codes.

To do this manually, get a pad, a pen, your keys and get in your truck.
(the procedure for entering diagnostics may vary, but this works for the dodges I've worked on)

• What to expect: On your dash there is a CHECK ENGINE or MALFUNCTION light. It will blink to signify the digits of any error codes. The codes have two digits with a pause between them. Blink-Pause-Blink-Blink would signify a 12.
• To enter diagnostics: Turn the ignition ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON (within 5 seconds)
• The codes will begin to flash
• Write them down.

Of course, its easier to go to an auto parts store that offers code reading service.

Question: Of all the possible causes, why did the o2 sensors get picked as the cause? Is there more to the story?

Any way, run the tests, perform the diagnostics and get back with me, we can go from there.

Hope this helps

Mike

I am having the same problem. I replaced the speed sensor on the rear diff. and the problem went away but when i started it the next day the problem came back. If you figure it out let me know.

On the upper grill side of the headlight assy. there
should be 1 or 2 push pins that hold the seal on the
headlight assy to the front of the fender. Also check
for a guide/push pin on the inner top of the assy on
the outer fender side. That should be all there is to
hold the headlight in place. Hope this helps.
