Clean the carbeurator and lube the throttle cable.
The main cause of battery drains is a bad electrical system. The electrical system is normally powered by the alternator and once the alternator goes bad the battery has a hard time holding a charge,
If the radiator is clogged up it will over heat. Make sure it is clean so that air can move through it properly. Also when any vehicle overheats it can die on you. (Most will) but if you let it get to hot you can do serious damage to the engine.
Bad ignition coil will cause engine to sputter and hesitate on acceleration.
Clogged fuel filter, dying fuel pump, or possibly fuel pressure regulator.
It could be the IAC module that sits next to the throttle body. It controls your idle and is non-adjustable.Try cleaning toyr throttle body system first, if tht doesn't work it will need to be replaced. Good luck, Mike
Cause it does
It's lean. Check for vacuum leaks, and make sure the fuel supply is functioning properly.
check the coolant level
A malfunctioning battery can't provide enough power to your ignition system when the motor is idling can cause sputtering. If there is not enough gas, that can cause your vehicle to sputter. If the spark plugs fail to fire will also cause your vehicle to sputter.
check for throttle cable binding on the throttle body, if it jumps out of track it can often cause uncontrolled acceleration while in gear...if not that it could possibly be caused by a sensor beginning to go bad
It is either one of your electric parts gone out such as CDI or the coil but my 2002 honda rancher 350 wouldn't fire and I sprayed WD-40 on the electrical connectors and then it started to fire. If you have been in lots of mud this might have been caused. Make sure the switch is off when unplugging the wires (Honda electrical system is very sensitive).
If its clogged
No
Yes
It may need a tune up.
Yes it can.
There are a few things that can cause a 1999 Dodge Dakota to sputter. For example, the battery may be malfunctioning or the park plugs can be going bad.
