You may have a vacuum leak in the system. The vent doors operate under vacuum from the engine. There is usually a vacuum "tank" under the dash that stores some vacuum to keep things stable under such acceleration conditions, since engine vacuum drops very low during those times. If there is a leak in the system somewhere, this vacuum bleeds off too fast and the blend door will retract to the default position, which is normally to the defroster vents. Once you get back to normal driving, the vacuum recovers, and the door will go back to where you wanted it.

There is something preventing the seat from latching in the upright position. Look for a piece of cloth or paper preventing the seat from becoming fully upright.

Likely blend air door problem--low vacuum=leaks or bad actuator.

This can be really bad. It possibly damages the computer. Check if you set any codes. It is easy in a Dodge, you don't need a code reader. Turn the key to 'on' position and off and 'on' 2x total (not cranking the starter, just before that). Leave it on and the check engine light will flash out the codes. You read it ...on..pause on,on equals 12. The codes will start with 12 and finish with 55. After 55 it is done. Everything in between 12 and 55 is important. Take a paper and pen and write it down. Then post them here and we'll see what's going on.

Yes Liz thats right for most all starteds in any vehicle. The motor it self takes up a lot of room so they have 2 ears top and bottom off set slightly and most are easy to replace . Make sure to disconnect the negitive battery cable first lots of power to a starting motor enough to weld a wrench to the engine block if it touches bolth at the same time .

If you have impact tools and access to a lift, you can replace the seal in about an hour. If not, then your looking at 4 to 5 hours and you will need help removing the the harmonic balancer and bolt to it. Let me know if you want some info on it and how you have to do it.

is it more aggressive when you put your foot on brake peddle softly maybe brake roaders

How old are the good tires? These speeds usually mean belt or balance problem with tires...If new tires, they need to be re-checked for balance...and not out of round...also check for bent wheel...due to chuckhole? Sometimes a bent steel wheel can be hammered straight...hope this helps.

Found this...It is also called IACS (Idle) (Air) (Control) (Solinoide)....This is common on most TBI Dodge 360CI 318CI motors.. If you are not popping a code, you might get away with cleaning the IACS.. This solinoide controls engine speed when say you turn on A/C or step on the brake or turn the wheel in a parking lot.. It is all about computer controled idle speed.Also cleaning the throttle body may help. Another issue could be the battery. Have it checked out.

Damon, the pump you bought is bad, return it for another pump and you'll be fine. I had several pumps bad through the years.

Your vehicle doesn't have a filter in the power steering system. If you concern about the fluid . Have the system flushed and filled with fluid.

In my case the left front turn indicator lamp worked, but not the left rear indicator, although all the lamps would turn on with running lights activated, as well as the backup light and 'night-light' mode. The left rear turn indicator would not work with the hazard lights activated. I tested the combination switch (this is the left/right turn indicator switch you use when driving to indicate which direction you are going and is mounted/located on the steering column) and it tested O.K.. I had good continuity from the combination switch black wire, and resistance on the blue-white wire from there to the left rear turn indicator lamp, as well as good continuity on all wires going out from the left parking light fuse. Since the Haynes manual indicated that the flasher module was probably good if it made the tell-tale clicking sound, I was feeling perplexed. So I took it into a local shop that specialized in auto electrics and it turned out to be the flasher module. I was under the impression that it operated in a straight-forward left-right manner, but apparently it has a different circuit for each turn indicator lamp. So even if it is making the appropriate clicking sound when the combo switch is flipped, it could still be the flasher module. Obviously the manual leaves a bit to be desired in the troubleshooting of malfunctioning turn indicators.

There no timing marks . There no key slot machined in the damper. Timing , control by the ecu , from information provided by cam sensor,crank sensor, coolant sensor, map sensor and air temp sensor.

Hi Louis, I'm AL the owner of Big As Auto Repair in St Charles Mo Louis, the best way to check power to the fuel pump is using a test light and probe the power wire on the connector at the pump, but you'll need to drop the tank a little to get to the connector. NOTE: Run a jumper wire from the battery negative cable to make sure you have a good ground. Touch the power wire while someone turns the key on, if the test light comes on the power is good. BUT, you also want to check the ground wire and here's how you do it. Move the jumper wire from the negative terminal too the positive terminal at the battery, next probe the ground wire at the pump connector, if it comes on then both power and ground are OK and you will need a pump. BUT, if one or the other doesn't come on then you'll need further assistance, please send your family and friends to my website and if you need further help click here: Auto Repair

Hi Steve, I'm AL the owner of Big As Auto Repair in St Charles Mo Steve, the pin style hydraulic tensioners can be reused by pushing the tensioner in with a press and installing a pin to hold it. HOWEVER, I replace the tensioner to be safe if the engine has 100,000 or more miles on it. I do that because its an interference engine, meaning you can bend the valves in the head should the tensioner not do its job because of age and miles. For further assistance click here: Auto Repair
