I WAS DRIVING IN A SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD AND I HEAR A VERY DISTINCT TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, AFTER I LOOKED AT THE AREA I NOTICED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS AND HEAT SHIELD WERE BROKE . THIS CAN CAUSE EXHAUST FUMES TO COME INTO THE CAR WHILE DRIVING AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF.

MY DODGE DAKOTA WITH THE 4.7 ENGINE RACES ALL THE TIME. WHEN I FIRST START IT, IT RACES AND IT ALSO DOES IT WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. WHEN I GO FROM ONE GEAR TO ANOTHER I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL UNTIL IT STOPS RACING AND THEN PUT IT IN EITHER REVERSE OR FORWARD. IT ALSO DOES THIS WHEN I COME TO A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT IT RACES AND I HAVE TO PUSH HARDER ON THE BREAK PEDAL TO KEEP IT FROM GOING FORWARD UNTIL IT COMES DOWN TO NORMAL SPEED. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I CAME CLOSE TO HITTING THE PERSON SETTING IN FRONT OF ME FROM THE ENGINE RACING. *TR
