I just thoroughly washed my 1993 Dodge Dakota pickup today and after leaving I noticed a few things going on with it. As I accelerated, my truck was chugging as if it was losing fuel or something. Then I noticed as I was driving and stopping, my RPMs were acting up. When I would come upon a stop sign, I would push my clutch in and my RPMs would stay where it was for a moment, roughly between 2 - 2.5k, and then gradually go down. I thought maybe washing the engine and it being wet, that I would let it dry and try it again. I took it out for another spin and while I was traveling down the Interstate, I noticed while I was in 5th gear, I would push the clutch in (foot off gas pedal) and the RPMs would gradually increase before decreasing. As I drove around town the RPMs were still acting the way they were and even when I would put the clutch in to shift up, the RPMs would stay where they were before going down. Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be the problem for both these issues? The chugging and the RPMs? I looked around online and I've seen some say its a bad clutch, and others talk about the throttle position sensor. Any advice would help, thanks!
