Consumer Description

2002 DODGE DAKOTA QUAD CAB W/ 5.9 LITER ENGINE. MY TRUCK SUFFERS FROM A SHAKY IDLE, VERY PREVALENT WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE AND ROLLING. IS WORSE AT COLD START UP. I SUSPECT IGNITION SYSTEM= LOCATION OF COIL MAY BE THE CAUSE DUE TO BEING SO CLOSE TO THE TENSIONER PULLEY OR A OUT-OF BALANCE HARMONIC BALANCER. *JB
