My Dakota when hot does not run smooth at all. When cool all is fine. What is up with this?

Answer

Check for codes first, and let me know if you find any. Cycle the key from from off to on 3 times and watch the digital odometer. Plugs should be replaced if they are close to 30,000 miles old, wires, cap, and rotor if close to 50 or 60,000 miles. If all is ok, replace upstream o2 sensor. It may have a weak heater or lazy signal.
