Does the distributer have a vacume advance on dodge 1500 2000 model

Do you know what a electrical distribution diagram is ? Free here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info. year , make , model and engine size. Under system click electrical distribution. Then under subsystem click on power distribution . Then click the search button ,then the blue link. Check all feeds ,fuse's that feed the ignition switch .

When you take the line off of the vacum advance can you feel air comeing though it if you put your thumb over the end of the hose,? If not the line could be plug or a leak in it, some where. If that is not the problem ,Replace the distributer,

apply vacume to the vacume advance at the distributor.the diaphragm may not be working.also check to make sure the advance mechanism in the distributor is not siezed.the last thing you will have to check is when and if you vacuum ot the port on the carb that the hose connects to and at the correct time(throttle position)

check vacume lines unless it opperates with a cable might have come undone

It may have a wieght in the dist. sticking 1/4 pedal is about the time mechanical timing advance comes in.

No there no vacuum advance. It done by Engine control module

you probably have a vacume leak leading to vacume advance to listen for a vacume leak take a piece of garden hose @3 ft long stick one end to ear and the other end arround the distributer cap with the enging running it will saund like a hiss if you hear it replace the hose. which you can get at any auto parts store

Please Help Thanks!!!

remove and plug vacume line on the distributer and find timing specs on the motor in the vehicle using timing light hook transducer cable to no# 1 cylinder set the idle to manufacturers specs make shure motor is warmed up to operating temp now point thr timing light at the timing plate on crankshaft pulley start the engine and watch for the mark on the harmonic pulley see where it is at when running now if the mark is not lining up with sugested degrees from manufacturer then u must loosen bolt on distributer only loosen 1/4 turn now rotate distributer clockwise or counterclockwise this will make the mark on the harmonic ballancer allign with manufactures required timing specs after aligning marks tighten distributer and unplug distributer vacume line and plug it back into distributer. and test if u need anymore specifics plz read manual carefully good luck
