Ok, took the car out this evening and watched what was going on very closely. It turns out that the RPMs are not jumping they are dropping. Sometime from 3000 rpm to 0...this is usually when the car dies. The Check Engine Light is ON. I do not have to be going very fast for this to happen. When I am driving at a steady pace the car starts to hesitate...herky...jerky style and sometimes dies. When I start to slow down when coming to a stop the car dies and the instrument panel goes nuts. Check Engine Light, Check Oil, etc.

Any suggestions?

 

Sorry for double posting. I posted in the 98 pathy forum before I realized there was a garage forum.

 

Thanks and God Bless,

Scott

BTY...I am a mechanical idiot so try to dumb it down for me!

When did you last repalce the fuel filter? If not done for a while, it could get cloged and restrict the fuel flow. Because of poor fuel around here, I do mine every other oil change ie 10,000 km.

 

Just a guess on my part. :shrug:

Why dont you do a diagnostics check to find out the error code. It could be clogged or leaking injectors. You said that the oil light is on also. Did you check to see if you have any oil? There are tons of things it could be. just go down the list. Take your 2 hoses off that come from the gas tank and crank over the engine and see if you have fuel coming out. How many miles are on the truck?
