Q: Bad fuel injecter
If I have a bad fuel injecter, would it make my truck rev up high by itself and come down slow after I just tap the gas? And some times when I put it in park it will rev high by itself

That doesn’t really sound like the symptoms of a bad fuel injector. It sound more like you have an air leak or a bad idle valve. But don’t run out and buy a new part just yet. You really should have a proper diagnosis done so you don’t spend money that you don’t need to. Contact YourMechanic to have a technician come out to your home or office to check out you Dakota and let you know what it will take to solve your problem.
