general problems of the 1996 Dodge Ram 1500

1996 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 5. 2 ltr. 318 ci. Engine. Throttle stuck fully open when pulling into customers driveway hauling small utility trailer. I put truck in neutral and shot off engine. After 10 minutes I restarted truck and it seems fine now. This is an isolated incident at this time. I inspected fuel linkages from pedal to throttle body and all appears well. There is minimal corrosion and I was unable to duplicate this problem manually.

Engine lost power on highway had to get a tow home found a whole with shiny clean threads in intake manifold dealer cant help me. So I tried another dealer. They could not help. The 2nd dealer said my truck should not have this opening in the back of intake manifold my truck is stock 5. 9 motor I don't know if my truck takes a plug back there or a tube or a vacuum line.

While driving 10 mph, the consumer heard a popping sound, and noticed from the rearview mirror a fire coming from under the vehicle. Consumer stopped the vehicle, shut the engine off, and exited the vehicle. There was minimal damage done to vehicle. An individual investigator concluded that the rollover valve was the cause of the fire.
