take your automobile to your local shop and have them diagnose the cause of the malfunctioning trains
I want to thank you for everyone response. If anyone else has anything they want to add please fell free to
Mine did the same thing. If i stomped the gas it wo
Dang. Lol. Mine did the same thing. Drive it would start missing and bog down. I would stomp the gas and it would straighten out. No engine lights was on. Heres how i fixed mine. Unhook ur battery. Then unplug both ur oxygen sensors. The one upstream and the one downstream of ur catalic converter. Leave them unhooked. Tie up ur wires so they dont hang down. Hook ur battery back up. Ur enging light will come on and stay on but it should take care of ur problem. Will throw ur computer into retard mode. Lol. See if that helps.
My truck is doing the same thing at 5 miles per hour I don't think it's a transmission can you tell me what should I do or should I take it to the transmission shop
My 2014 Ram 4x4 did the same thing so I searched and through the grace of God I found a video and someone mentioned their MDS is what was causing the issue and sure enough that's what was causing the jerking for me as well. When I disabled it my truck no longer had that issue.
The easy way is to just buy a disable chip, you can also get a reprogrammed unit and disable it through that. The more expensive way is to replace the cam and lifters with a normal system.
