Ok thank you.
A lot of the time sputtering is caused by a misfire. This could be a faulty [ignition coil](/topics-ignition-coil-dodge/) or spark plug. With the dodge products, there are sometimes issues with the O2 sensors that can cause this as well. If it's possible to get the code, that would be helpful in that I may be able to provide more details. I think at this point it would be worthwhile to check it for a misfire and see if that's the issue. Otherwise we need a scan tool that can see the live data input from the O2 sensors to see if they are a factor.

I can totally understand that, and I am hoping I can help you stop throwing parts at it and hoping for the best. When you get the codes, post them right here. Even if it's next week or something, you reply here and I will get it.

Ok, sorry for the delay, I had to do some plowing.
This code is part of the fuel level sending unit and will not make the car run rough.
If you have this code with the new fuel pump module and the old fuel pump, it's likely a wiring issue or a problem with the fuel gauge.
For the running issue, I would check it for vacuum leaks by spraying some carb cleaner along the intake manifold and any other vacuum lines you see. If the idle smooths out, then you have a vacuum leak, if not, then you might be fighting a bad TIPM, it's a common failure on these cars.

What's a tipm?

That's the totally integrated power module. Fancy lingo for the fuse box under the hood.
Still not sure what you need?
