1993 w/ 3.9 v6 sputtering (updated) - 4/11/2008 11:44:51 AM    mattg   Posts: 13 Joined: 8/30/2007 Status: offline hey guys, I've put a new coil in my dakota which helped the sputtering a little bit. I have a new coolant temp sensor which I haven't put in yet, and I'm starting to think it won't help. i've noticed the past few days that it's related to humidity. When it's really moist out it sputters.  suggestions? Post #: 1
