98 RAM speedometer problem

From : peter kemp

Q: dj wrote had van for about a month now. love it. mileage sucks compared to my now retired voyager but the trade off for the added passenger/cargo space is worth it for me. my question how do i get the side and rear doors to open from inside i cant find a child safety switch anywhere. and no i dont have an owners manual. there are small holes on the side of the doors where i would expect to find a safety switch but i didnt want to just start shoving tools into door mechanicals without asking someone who might know first. thanks in advance. --= dj =-- .

i have exactly the same thing going on with my 01 ram. if it sits for longer than a day or so in rainy conditions it has trouble starting turns over fine - either it wont or its really rough starting. also noticed that occaisionally i get power fluctuations almost a bucking when first running it after a wet start. goes away after 20 minutes or so of running it. my thoughts are it has to be electrical. was kind of leaning toward possibly the tps. twiklanskis ignition comment is very interesting though. wonder which i should start with. both are relatively cheap and easy. have you had any luck yet tex craig .
