RPM fluctulate. While driving my RPM will fluctuale but I lose no engine speed. It does this at any speed and if I hit a bump in road the RPM will flucuate. Dodge dealer claim If was cause by my fuel injetors which I had cleaned and the problems is still occuring. Please help with this problems. Thanks

This can be tough if the check engine light hasn't come on. Has it? Also, have you checked fuel pump pressure? Have you checked for vacuum leaks?

Let me know.

WIthout a check engine light, it becomes a guessing game. I would start with fuel pressure. IF you need directions, let me know.

I had my feul pressure checked and it okay 49.2 psi. Checked vacuum leaks and located nothing. I don't know where to go from here. My truck is running prefectly other then the Flucation with the RPM.

As I stated it I hit a bump the RPM will shot up and then return to normal. Driving on thehighway it shot up and return to normal just to shot up again. Again I lose no engine power.

I have no problem with my transmission and I am not sure this would casue the RPM to shot up.

Therefore, do you have any other suggestion?

Again, the check engine light is not on and have not come on.

Thanks, Dennis
