Can someone tell me what is wrong and how to fix my Dodge Daytona?

Question

I have a 1988 Dodge Daytona 2.5 liter 5 speed. The problem with my car is that when i am driving, my RPM gauge will drop to zero and yet my car will not stall out til i either press the clutch or put it in neutral. i recently went to auto zone and they told me it was my MAP sensor. i went on to replace said sensor and yet my problem still continues. Can anyone tell me what could be the problem with my car and how to fix it? If you can provide pictures it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

The key on/off trick will display 2 digit codes. "P codes" were not used in 1988. I would check wiring if the tach drops out before the car stalls. I have experienced problems with the pick-up plate in the distributor causing related concerns.

Answer 2

On Dodge Cars If You Need To Know Any Codes You Can Turn The Key On And Off Three Times Quickly And On The Third Time Leave Key On And Watch Light Blink On And Off Counting The Number Of Times It Blinks Usually It Does In Sessions Of 1 Or 3 Or more Have Paper Handy And Write Down Number of Time They Blink. Usually There May Be More Than One Code So Don't turn Off Key Until Finished Go To Google.Com Put In Words Fault Codes And Numbers Example p0661 Always Put p In Front Of Numbers

Answer 3

well it could be your map sensor stalling the car as for the tach check the wireing and sensor

the element that makes one vehicle pass speedier than yet another is money.. Toyota has been spending the most, and circumvent is spending the least.. that would look over simplified, notwithstanding it isn't any longer.. If a team proprietor can arise with the money for to employ a properly motive force, they are going to as well as team chief.. The kit they use to practice the vehicles comes at a intense fee.. Even Roush has a not uncomplicated time maintaining with Hendrick, and Gibbs (who receives his engines waiting to pass from Toyota, and could quickly get Chassis from Toyota as well).. BTW, they (circumvent, and Ford) no longer fit a similar template.. The nostril is somewhat more beneficial rounded.. NASCAR says it isn't any longer an income, yet by some skill i am going to't see it...

Goto you local auto store and get your computer scanned with the OBDII Scanner. See what codes come up and that will tell you what you need to get replaced.
