Why is my Dodge Ram 1500 running rough?
On Feb 22, I changed the spark plugs, Bosch Platinum, spark plug wires,Bosch, and PCV valve. I also performed a compression test, where the range of pressure was 130 to 160 psi. On Feb 29, I found a coolant leak and thought it may have been coming from around the thermostat. Up to this point, the truck had been running fine.
What to do if your GM Truck is bogging down?
Pull the distributor cap and check for corrosion on the underside or any signs of water. Be sure they’re clean and dry so you’re not cross firing and make sure the rotor is in good condition as well. Double check your wires for wear/melting while you’re at it too and it never hurts to check your plugs and gap.

Why is my GM Vortec engine bogging down?
If so look into a vacuume leak or possibly bad igntion components. If your not using delco plugs in this motor that can be a big contributor to your problem. GM vortec engines hate anything but vortec plugs and will do all kinds of weird things. And yes a clogged converter could cause this sort of thing to happen.
Why is my GM Truck bogging down on hard acceleration?
If your not using delco plugs in this motor that can be a big contributor to your problem. GM vortec engines hate anything but vortec plugs and will do all kinds of weird things. And yes a clogged converter could cause this sort of thing to happen. Are the O2 codes upstream or downstream?
What should the RPM be to accelerate from a stop?
If you try to accelerate from a stop without increasing your engine RPMs, you’ll likely stall the engine. Increase the RPMs from idle to 1300-1500 RPMs and only then ease off the clutch pedal to smoothly accelerate from a stop.
Why does my car shake when I hit a pothole?
If you hit a pothole at high speed you could dent the rim and damage the tire. Another common cause of steering wheel vibration or car shake is having something lodged in a tire, like a large bolt, or any metal object you may have picked up from the road’s surface (I have seen even wrenches and screwdrivers impaling a tire).
What should the idle RPM be on a car?
Your engine should normally get to around 700 RPM after you start the vehicle, depending on the model. If your idle is way off and you have one or more of the problems listed above, then you will want to diagnose the issue right away.
Why does my car shake at low speeds but not high?
Some reasons for a car to shake at low speeds and not high may be: By the very nature of the machine, an engine shakes. Engine mounts, when working properly, prevent the transfer of these vibrations to the car chassis itself.
What should I do if my car shakes while idling?
The truth is there are many different reasons, some more serious than others. Ultimately, though, if your car shakes while idling, feels bouncy, or the RPMs are inconsistent, take your car to a mechanic for a closer look. When your vehicle is in park, or your foot is on the brake, it idles at a consistent speed.
Why does my car vibrate at 1000 rpm?
Between 1000 & 2000 rpm Shaking or vibration may be caused by many different things such as faulty spark plugs, poor fuel pressure or misfires. Other things such as a faulty idle air control valve may cause the engine idle to drop below the normal idling RPM which may also cause the motor to shake or vibrate more than normal.
Why does my car shudder at low RPMs?
I sometimes notice it in lower gears at low speeds, and it happens on the highway for a couple seconds at a time pretty regularly if I’m cruising around 1,500 rpms. If I drop to 5th gear and get to around 2,000 rpms, the shudder goes away.
