98 Dodge Ram Running Problem

From : gina

Q: well the problem is back. ireset the battery again to buy me a little time as right now im tapped out do to building a house. can you suggest where one might get their hands on a manual with sensor specs iac = controls the idle speed your vehicle is now reset back to factory defaults. after it learns what settings to use your problem may reappear which will be an indication that you do have a faulty sensor somewhere. in a ten year old vehicle id suspect some cruddy connections. o2 sensors need to be swapped out on a regular basis as routine maintennance. some software only looks for shorted or open sensors and wont give a fault code if the sensor is out of range. get a manual with the sensor specs and test every sensor. .
