installing autometer gauges

Q: hi i inherited my moms 89 dodge dakota v6 with tbi. it hasnt been maintained too well for a while but neither has it been driven much. it drove fine for about a month after i got it being driven occasionally. it did have an issue with very occasionally dying immediately after starting. on the second start it was always fine. i figured it would go away with the tuneup i would give it soon. then one day when i went to drive it after it had sat for two days it would barely start once started would bog badly and die unless revved. when it was driven it would hesitate badly and then lurch forward or die as soon as it was in gear. the engine smelled rich. the engine only smoothed out a bit at high rpms 3000. no codes in the computer. i replaced the air filter plugs quite worn cap rotor wires coil. it ran less bad. i then replaced the map sensor since it seems to be a common issue and also cleaned the sensor contacts and the contacts in the computer on the fender. that made no difference. it will start no longer dies immediately and will idle rough. still hesitates badly and occasionally die in gear. the power kicks in suddenly at a 1500 - 2000 rpm and the truck lurches. im next replacing the fuel filter which is likely ten years old or more. i plan to do the rest of the basics for maintenance to get it to a good baseline. however this happened overnight indicating to me that something failed overnight. im also going to pull the o2 sensor to see if possibly the catalyst collapsed/clogged. any other suggestions for possible culprits thanks. larry .

there are only two locations that meet your criteria the first is the a pillar and the second is at the top of the windsheild by the mirror. neither are easy but the result does look factory. do not be concerned about loosing either night vision or increasing the very large already blind spot at the pillar it doesnt happen. i am a very happy user of the a pillar solution. steve ive got a 97 2500 that needs 4 gauges installed. i looking for a sanatary install - something as clean as a factory install. need to keep the dash and left column clear because i dont need any vision interference with my night vision. was thinking maybe these gauges would fit in the cupholder and ashtray areas. any thoughts any recommendations on another location .

oil companies are pulling in record profits and the government says they cant do anything about it. hurricanes have knocked the oil refineries down and you can feel it at the pump. and now you are stuck paying outrageous prices at the pump. this reason is simple... its what we all learned in economics 101 supply and demand the demand for oil is at an all time high. the united states europe and china are using more and more oil due to their expanding economies. unfortunately for you this means you are forced to spend thousands of dollars more every year on gas ...until now. the only ones who are winning are the big oil companies and they are dying to get this site pulled down immediately. making biodiesel was an almost impossible task. but with these new tactics if you know how to scramble eggs then you can learn how to make biodiesel. its literally that easy. and this scares them to death as it should!. the research has been done so whats the verdict biodiesel is currently the only alternative fuel that has successfully completed the epa required health effects test under the clean air act. the reason being is that biodiesel is not a threat to human health like petroleum diesel. in fact studies have shown that the production and use of biodiesel compared to petroleum diesel resulted in a 78.5% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. think of what a difference that could make. also the sulfur oxides emissions is 8% lower in biodiesel compared to the sulfur oxides in emissions from regular petro-diesel. essentially what this means is that biodiesel exhaust is much less harmful to humans than the petroleum-based fuel. it contains no aromatic compounds and also is much easier on the lungs. the emission that particularly causes asthma and other lung disorders is reduced by 47%. so you can tell that thatll make a big difference in the quality of air that we have in our world. http//biodieseldu.blogspot.com/# .
