Dodge V10 problems

frankensteinxj · 06-25-2011, 06:30 PM

As the title states.
I have driven it three time since its been doing this. After almost exactly a mile each time it looses power and sputters like its not getting enough fuel or it has a miss but it clears up after about 20 seconds.
I was going to start with a fuel filter but it is built into the fuel pump which is 220$ so Im asking for yor help before I start throwing parts at it.
Alright I checked the routing of the wires.
The number 7 wire and the number 5 wire were together which is known to cause crossfiring with this motor so I seperated them but it didnt fix the problem.
I also checked my fuel pressure and when it wasnt started it was reading 45psi but when i was started i was gettin 50 psi, It is supposed to be 35-45.
But it is still acting like it has a miss at times.
I also noticed that when I was slwing down my oil pressure dropped beolw 40. I have never seen it go below 40.
Im thinkin it is either an injector or could it be my coil pack or maybe the 7 and 5 wires got damaged from being next to each other?
Im not sure where to go from here. Im lost.
Any help is appreciated.

Shoot me a PM and I'll gladly help you out... I've got a good DVOM and a bunch of other diagnostic equipment... if you can drive up to the Sugar Creek Township where my buddy's shop is(where my tools are at). Just pay for lunch or dinner(time dependent) and we'll call it even
