If he tells you right up front that they don't have OBD1 equipment, then you are at the wrong shop. Of course they are going to charge you diagnostics. OBD1 requires a lot more actual diagnostics than OBD2 does. This isn't like the free code read you get from parts stores. This guy has to actually know what he is doing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. individualizedrepair User Dec 30, 2013, 9:08 PM Post #52 of 54 (1437 views) Re: 1993 dodge dakota acceleration problems Sign In I took the truck to a shop that has obd1 scanner but they said unless it is throwing a code or the check engine light was on it is useless? Is this true? They checked out the truck and said it was plugs, wires, cap and rotor. I replaced it all along with pcv valve for complete tune-up. Truck still does the same thing. Can the obd1 scanner be used for driving diagnostic or what kind of shop do I need to be taking it to?

He has access to an entire list of sensor data that can be analyzed to look for an issue, assuming the problem is present at the time. You need a real driveabilty tech to be able to look for this stuff. If you're just hitting the chain stores like Firestone, Good year, brake shops, etc, they are not the caliber of people that can do this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. individualizedrepair User Jan 4, 2014, 12:30 PM Post #54 of 54 (1420 views) Re: 1993 dodge dakota acceleration problems Sign In Ok so I have a little more information. I usually only drive around town and do not get above 40mph most times in town. When I went out of town this week I got the truck up to around 60 and it seems like when it cuts out there is an engine/transmission thump when it stumbles and rpm's drop. This made me think crankshaft position sensor which I replaced with no help to the symptoms. Seems like the cps being out would not give these symptoms anyway (obviously why I am not a mechanic). Any ideas with the trans/engine sound and symptoms if this could change the diagnosis? 1 2 3  View All   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
