str86diesel Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Sounds like it could have been the check engine light. I'd put an OBD scanner on that bad boy pretty quickly do you have a laptop? If so, do I like I did and go to www.obdii.com and buy the software, so that you can have obd diagnostics running while on the road :^ kev Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Well the same shit happened again the other night when I pulled up into a Wendys with my friends... Car didn't shutoff this time but it wouldn't accelerate... Then the car said "Check electronic throttle" or some thing like that. Can't wait to turn this shit in > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerdown Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 it sounds like ur MASAir flow sensor is gone bad. I would check this part before taking to to a dealer. I have a female friend her car was doing the same thing it was the MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the car has a problem when I floor it...Before I would floor it and it would take off right away...Now it kinda "chokes" when its making it's way up the RPMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so the air flow sensor is thinking its still at Idle when its not there fore stiving your engine of fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Yeah no problems at all when im on idle... Both times that the problem has occured I have been go under 20mph... All I had to do to fix it was turn the car off then back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
