Always go with the cheapest & most obvious thing first. And It looks as though you need to change the Spark Plugs & Spark plug Wires. It appears that spark plug #4 is mis firing.-. If you intend to do it yourself You can buy the parts cheap & Kragen/Chucks or Napa. I'd call around for the best price. If you have a mechanic do it, shop around for that too. If you are trying to save money, (aren't we all?) let them know that you are low on funds. They should be able to do it for about $60.00. That's parts included.
 
hi there, we took our Dodge Ram 2004 to an Auto Zone for a engine diagnostic, because the truck was shaking whenever the gas was exceeded to more than 50mph. and the check engine light was on.
this was the diagnostic, and if you could please translate it to me in words i can understand, and tell me what the best solution is and what the cost of repairs would be, i'd greatly appreciate. thank you and expect 10 points or at least a thumbs up. thank you.
