So my dodge Durango accelerating fast when I put it in park, and it's idling the same way like yours. Could I just need a throttle position sensor to fix my problems.

Changed mine two years ago on my 2006 Durango. Worked great. I took it to the local Dodge dealer and they had no idea why the RPM's fluctuated like that. Fixed it myself after seeing another TH-cam video. The bad sensor actually caused my Durango to shut off while I was towing our small boat home from vacation.
Thanks for viewing...I ran into the same problem....called a few repair stations and they said that I would have to bring the truck in so they could look....so I got online and figured it out and saved some $$. Subscribe to the channel if you're up to it.
This is EXACTLY what's happening to me right now! I was on the freeway going 70mph and it just stalled! I had like 6 seconds to pull over before the wheel locked up.
You started your video showing and listening to your car issues, I can't thank you enough for that! This is a great video. Even if this isn't my problem I love your video
Thanks for the video, this completely fixed my vehicle's hesitation and inconsistent idle. I also had it stall a few times at stoplights. I would recommend for the first step try a fuel additive with PEA, such as chevron techron. This will clear any deposits in the fuel system. In my case, the throttle position sensor was the problem. After changing the sensor not only does it idle better but I also immediately noticed much more responsive acceleration. If feels like I added thirty horsepower. I would also recommend disconnecting the negative battery terminal before the installation. After replacing the TPS and reconnecting the terminal it will reboot the computer system. If others replace the TPS and the problem still persists the next step is checking either the mass airflow sensor (MAF) or manifold absolute pressure sensor (MAP) depending on the vehicle.Thanks again, I hope this video help others as much as it did me :)

THANK YOU! My truck isn't the gutless turd I thought it was and no more of that idle up and down. I bought the truck like this when my good truck was totaled and I was in a pinch. Now I'm not thinking of it as a temp truck. Thanks again. Subscribed.
before you replace anything on a durango that wont stay running after a dead battery replace or recharged, you need to do the following to reset your computer chip: 1) disconnect neg cable 2) turn key to start position and hold for 30 seconds while pushing your gas to the floor. 3) reconnect your neg terminal. 4) restart your engine and it will run fine.

Battery went completely dead when my truck was at a body shop and it would not idle after charging the battery. Came here and saw this post. My logic part of the brain said if a batt. cable is unhooked no current or information will flow anywhere, therefor this will not work. Then I thought if I take 45 seconds and try this and it does work great and if not I lost 45 seconds. No clue why or how this worked but just got back from a little road test and my truck is idling perfect. Can anyone tell me how this worked? Thank you for the info.
Worked like a charm, just did it, paid $39.99 for the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) at local automotive parts store (O'Reilly Auto Parts), didn't want to wait for part in the mail. Thanks!!!

Haha I have to laugh not because of your problems but when i saw you had an engine light on it actually made me feel like I wasn't alone. I've gone through my wife's Dakota repairing issues and hoping each time that would be it. Then I'd get another code or codes that kept the check engine light on. I swear the truck is possessed.

I just bought a 2002 Dodge Durango SLT a couple of days ago and I took it to get emission tested and the guy said that it idled high and that's when I found this video. I went ahead and purchased the throttle position sensor to get rid of the high idle; unfortunately that did not work. Now gonna replace the idle control valve right underneath that TPS and I'm really hoping that works.
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience Patrick. Having an idle that is high is a common symptom of the Idle Control Valve beginning to fault. Im glad to hear you changed your Throttle Position Sensor as well because those fail every 5-8 years from articles I've read in the past...so now you should be good to go for awhile on that note haha...Definitely keep me posted on your repair.

DIY With Michael Borders thanks for the swift reply Michael. Yeah I mean even though replacing the TPS didn't get rid of the high idle it doesn't hurt to have a new sensor though you know what I mean? So like I said I'm gonna replace the idle control valve today and see if that gets rid of the engine code and high idle but if that does not work I'm going to check for vac leaks and go from there. I'll keep you in the loop.

I tried replacing mine before I put the new one on and it made my 1997 dodge dakota run at 2 on the rev meter and ran it for 20 or so minutes and never changed so I put my old one back on and was okay it still does it a little bit but nothing crazy only a very slight amount I mostly notice it when I stop at a stop light in town but it's nothing as bad as yours mine might go from .8 to .9 on the rev meter i'm not even gonna worry about it it's an old truck with 192k on it

So I own a dodge Dakota sport 02 and we just replaced our cat( the main one apparently there's 3 for our model n make) now our trucks doing this surging thing while in park. ( just like yours was) We are do for smog this month Oct, and well wouldn't u no these Lil things decide to malfunction right as we are ready to take it down to our mechanic for smog. It cost us 650$ for the cat which isn't bad considering the original one was gna cost us 1,200! But in the state of California they do not make original cats for our year of truck. Anyhow the universal one was the only way to replace it. Our mechanic had to modify it. In which case he did a fabulous job. Im assuming I'm gna have to replace this throttle position sensor before I smog it right? THANK U FOR THIS VIDEO. IT LOOKS VERY EASY, I love the fact ur assistant is female, cuz well I'm a female to. And if she can do it I sure can!!

Great video the assistant did a fine job changing that part!!

I have the same issue only when I put it in Drive or Reverse it clears the issue until next time I turn off and on the car So another words when I need to warm up my car I have to start it then put in D then I can put in P and let it warm with a normal Idle
Rob P Thanks for checking out the video! Have you had any recent work done to your engine? I have a friend that ran into a similar issue years ago and it dealt with carbon build up in his throttle body. I'm not so sure this is your issue though but I'm not going to rule it out. Have you replaced the spark plugs and wires within the last 2 years?
DIY With Michael Borders Thanks for the reply . Yes I changed my plugs 2 months ago and I actually don't have wires I have individual coils but I think you're right about the carbon build up I actually have done a lot of work on the car lately because it sat for almost 2 yrs in my driveway but I've had the Idle issue for longer than that and always thought it might be a vacuum leak until recently Because if it was it would always have surging idle but it goes away which leads me to wonder if it might be a failing TPS or MAP or IAC Valve I just ordered a TPS I have a good feeling about this
DIY With Michael Borders So I have replaced everything I mentioned and took my Throttle Body and Intake Manifold apart replace the Gasket and cleaned everything out No change also Had to replace my Harmonic Balancer last week and decided to also do the Timing belt Water pump and Tensioner. Idle still Revving until I take it out of park that resets it for some reason as long as I put it in D or R the idle will be steady.
Mine did that years ago. Hasn't done it sense. What I figured out was, even after getting a new tank of fuel, the ethanol would draw water after sitting for a couple of days and faster if you left it outside in a humid climate (Florida) and not in a garage and then try to run the truck on it. Threw some octane booster in it, and drove around. I then swapped to the ethanol free fuel (if it's available at your station) I thought it was a sensor but the truck never bucked or accelerated oddly from a stop light. It never ran rough driving around town, cruising the highway and WOT was normal After coming home from getting fuel once I let it idle and as soon as i put it in park it started surging. rev it and the rpms would fall below 500 on recovery and the truck would struggle to avoid a stall. Since swapping to the Ethanol free fuel (even in 2022 with the prices i do half tanks of 87 and 87/89 ethanol free ) but add in small bit of injector cleaner and octane booster every 2-3 months.
Almost 90% of the people who've had this problem said the issue fixed itself. There's no need to go to a mechanic. Just give it time and the computer sensor will reprogram itself.

I have a problem when I speed up from idle. Above 2500 or 3000 rpm it begins to miss and cut out. I had that problem on my PT Cruiser and when I checked the crankshaft sensor, I found the wiring had been worn through while touching some hoses. It actually wore through the ground wire. Not that my Dakota problem is the same, but it's the same symptoms.

Ive replaced my Throttle Position Sensor a few months ago, took it to a shop and at the time I did have a vacuum leak. And it was a Intake Manifold that had a crack in it. I got that done. Also installed a new Camshaft, Crank Sensor, Idle Air Control Sensor, Purge Valve Solenoid. Since I got the Intake done, it doesnt run so rough as it used to. However, the needle still goes up and down feeling like it wants to stall. I also know that there is a small slice in the rubber hose that connects from the Purge Valve to the engine wrapped with electrical tape. (Small hose that connects to hard plastic) on the Driver side wrapped with electrical tape. The current codes that are popping up are 0456, 0440 & 0522. I dont know if that has anything to do with it...any suggestions?
Thanks for checking out the video. That's a lot of work fixing all those parts and still running into this annoying idle issue. How often is the truck used? The reason I ask is because I have a friend that has a 02 Dakota and uses it railey to pull his trailer....which he only pulls once a month. The engine sits long terms without starting. We talked about it and he began driving his truck for a few days straight and never saw the idle issue again. The second option may be...as silly as it sounds...an old/clogged air filter. With having a shop complete all that work, you would think the issue would be solved. Keep me posted! 😀👍
Its my daily driver. The Air filter is a little dirty but at the same time I replaced it 2+ years ago roughly around that but it still isnt that bad. Just one day it started doing it and I really thought the Intake Manifold would solve it. I still wonder if its the slice in the hose causing it..I forgot what its called...(my has a green plastic cap kinda in front of the brake booster sortof) On your Dakota, itll be the same setup if you saw it. But its driving me crazy...alos a few months ago. I took off the top cover off the engine and cleaned the Mass Air Flow Sensor...I only did that because that part is around $80.00. It idles up and down when it wants to.
I definitely understand the annoyance. The engine relies on the BIG THREE components for correct and efficient performance. 1. Air 2. Fuel 3. Spark That number one item may be experiencing a lack of performance due to the leak in the vacuum line.
Within the next few days, I will be popping the hood and inspecting the small things such as Air Filter again, the one hose with a small slice. I doubt the Gas cap. When I had the work done to it, they did take a smoke machine to it. But I have a locking gas cap, Im starting to think if its even a Vapor Canister causing all this. It only acts up when it wants to. If im sitting at a light, it will barely do anything. At a different time, the needle will go crazy and sometimes will drop below 500 RPM when sitting at a light. I just dont understand it.....
Thanks for watching & it’s definitely possible. You may be experiencing a lack of fuel or air. We recommend replacing your air filter, a lack of air will degrade engine performance. If that doesn’t help, you may have dirty fuel injectors. A fuel system cleaning additive may help.
same problem I have replaced IAC TPS computer, temp. sending unit map sensor cleaned throttle body replaced both oxygen sensors still have the same problem.
jfri59 Thanks for watching & sharing your experience. Next, we recommend replacing your Air Filter as well as adding a fuel system cleaning additive to your tank. It’s possible that you have a lack of oxygen flow to the engine & a new Air Filter may help. It’s also possible that you have moisture in your fuel or dirty fuel injectors. A fuel system additive may help. Let’s start there. Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your TH-cam notification Bell 🛎 that would be awesome thanks again! 😎👍🔧🔩
Hello there! What did it act like when you drove highway speeds? My 2004 Dakota is doing weird idling, but when I drive highway speeds the RPM's will jump up from normal rpm to higher rpm out of nowhere. Would that be the same sensor? I was also told possibly camshaft position sensor??
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. On the highway, it ran normal & like new. However at idle, it fluctuated. Replacing this part should solve your issue. Keep us posted. Enjoy your day. 😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Replaced the throttle position sensor and so far so good. Just a side note, I read a column on these sensors and sometimes they will go bad without showing an error code and if it does that it can be confusing. Mine was not showing an error code.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Replaced the idle air valve and connector 2 weeks ago which solved a lot of issues. But maintaining idle at a stop in drive is getting on my nerves. Will pickup a throttle position sensor at my local AutoZone. Thanks for the feedback!🙄
I have an 03 4.7l Dakota. Mine has these symptoms when cruising down the freeway. Same problem/fix you think? I noticed this a couple years ago on a 350 mile trip. Didn't start doing it until close to end of trip. Pulled over and it did the same thing at idle also.
Michael Schumacher Thanks for checking out the video.

I have a 96 dodge Dakota v6 3.9 engine I have been having issues with it but my main issue is the gas gauge not working. It would rarely come back on but it doesn’t move period anymore. What’s the easiest and cheapest way about trying to fix it without having to replace everything?
Rocky Slater Thanks for watching & that’s a great question. You may have a blown fuse. There is a fuse box inside your engine compartment near your battery. Carefully inspect any and all fuses related to your instrument cluster and fuel system/gas gauge. You also have fuses down below to the left of the brake pedal on the driver side. By opening a little access panel, you can gain access to these fuses. Keep us posted. Let us know if you have any questions.

Mike Voss Thanks for the update. That’s odd. You had starting issues recently? By chance are you experiencing degraded engine performance at higher speeds such as cruising on the highway? If yes, you may have a worn out spark plug or spark plug wire. Keep us posted! 😎👍🔧🔩
my 2003 durango's engine reves when i start it in the morning but the rpm is ok around 800 rpm. this would last for about 20 to 30 seconds then it would go away, only happens in the morning the rest of the day no problem. any idea what causes this engine reving? or maybe it is not the engine, but sure sounds like the engine is working hard.
nonoyd Thanks for watching & we hope the video helped. This is very common. Our engine on our Camry does the same thing. A cold engine requires a slightly higher rpm after start to keep the engine running. As the engine warms up, the onboard computer will communicate with all sensors & begin to allow engine rpm to decrease slowly until 800-1000 rpm’s. Hope this helps.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders thanks for replying, but what i am saying is the is that when the engine reves the rpm is at 800, and when it stop reving the rpm stays at 800 which is my durango's normal idle rpm.so maybe the engine is just making a loud noise that sounds like it is running on a high rpm, because the car's rpm when i start it is just 800 and stays until the reving sound stops.
nonoyd Thanks for the reply, that’s odd. The rpm operates normally as you drive truck & reach higher speeds? Have you replaced the part shown in this video yet? Not sure if it will solve your exact problem...but maybe. 😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders yes my durango operates perfectly when i drive it. it's just once or twice a week the engine would sound like reving when i start the car in the morning for about 20 seconds, the rest is normal. it does not get worst, the car was given to me last september. i might try to change that idle position sensor when i have the time.
I have 03 Dodge Ram 1500 changed Tps sensor 3 times code keeps poping up truck runs fine for min then throttle keeps jumping up and down Then when you push down on the gas pedal no response and then engages do you have any ideas
If I'm reading and understanding this correctly....I have seen this a few times over the years. A friend of mine had run into this issue last summer. Every time he pressed the gas pedal, a few seconds would go by and then the car would accelerate....it ended up being a worn out transmission that wasn't catching when it was supposed to. Let me know any additional info you are experiencing. We can try to figure this out!

LifebytheBook Thanks for watching & sharing your experience. A few things come to mind! 1. Any loose connections. Do a thorough inspection of all electrical wiring throughout system to verify that there are no loose connections. 2. Any signs of stress on the electrical wiring? We recommend doing an inspection and verifying that you see no signs of stress such as melted wires or frayed wires... these conditions will ultimately cause electrical shorting/arching and interrupt the electrical current. 3. An old battery will definitely cause a lack in starting power...especially in cold weather/temps. Purchasing a brand new battery will definitely help the efficiency of engine starts moving forward. Let’s start there! Keep us posted! Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your TH-cam notification Bell 🛎 that would be awesome thanks again! 😎👍🔧🔩
I have replaced the PCM, the TPS, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the IAC Valve. PO123 and my '98 Dakota 3.9L won't stop the issue. Could it be a wiring issue? I have also reset the programming.
Axiom Unknown Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience! We read your second comment regarding the Battery being disconnected. Has that fixed the issue?? If not, let’s get this figured out together! Has there been any recent work done to the truck in the last year? This will help determine whether or not any recent repairs have anything to do with your engine performance issue! Keep us posted! Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your TH-cam notifications that would be awesome thanks again 😎👍🔧🔩
The battery reset didn't fix it, replaced a hose which stopped me from idling high but my RPM is still behaving erratically. PO123 remains, it has to be a wiring issue.
Axiom Unknown No prob let’s move to the next possible cause that we can check without spending $$. Let’s take a look at your intake hose that connects the Air Filter Box to the Throttle Body. Take a very close look & see if you can see any cracks, holes, or disconnection in any form. Then take a few minutes and remove hose & inspect inside to verify there isn’t anything inside interfering with the air flow. Then reinstall. At any point this hose becomes clogged or cracks and allows air from the outside to interrupt the airflow from the Air Filter box to the Throttle Body...your engine will suffer! Below is a link to our video that shows this exact issue! th-cam.com/video/PQgCyzmXTLM/w-d-xo.html Keep us posted! 😎👍🔧🔩
Thank you for your video. I have 2001 dodge Dakota, 4.7l engine. I fixed some issues with o2 sensor and power steering pressure sensor. Now it does not have engine check light on any more, but I do noticed the rough idle issue similar to what seen with your truck. I am going to follow your approach to replace the tps sensor. What is the brand name and part number of the part you ordered from eBay? I would like to get the same one if it fits for my truck. Thanks a lot!

@@yougoog1 You are very welcome, best news we’ve heard all day, we appreciate you taking the time to share this update. Hope you enjoy your upcoming week. 😎👍
E Von Thanks for watching, we appreciate it! After replacing sensor, the next thing we recommend doing is disconnecting your negative terminal from your battery and letting it sit in this configuration for at least 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, reconnect your negative terminal to your battery & start engine. Let engine run for 10-15 minutes. Following these steps will give your engine & onboard computer a chance to reset & hopefully reconnect & communicate to the new sensor you installed. Once the onboard computer reconnects to the new sensor, the part should hopefully work & your issue should be resolved.

Hi Michael. Ok did the disconnect of the negative side terminal and did a further step, inspection of throttle body upon inspection throttle body is very clean since I had taken owner ship about 3 1/2 years ago, Never cleaned it before. I did spray it with throttle body cleaner the red can since I had it all taken apart. I do keep a regular maintenance on my K & N air filter. So at this point still very puzzled at the cause of intermittently dying when driving up to a stop sign or light. Still idles at about 600 rpm. Might have to take it in to the dealer. Thanks for all your videos and help. Just wanted to give an update.
E Von Thanks for the reply & update. Have you replaced Spark Plugs & Wires recently? It’s also possible that you have a slightly clogged Fuel Filter. A fuel cleaning product might help clean out the filter & igniters. Keep us posted! 😎👍🔧🔩
tom66909 Thanks for checking out the video. I noticed a change right away after replacing sensor. If you run into the sensor not performing effectively...remove negative terminal from Battery, let sit for 10 minutes, then reinstall negative terminal...System should reset and work correctly. Keep me posted. Please Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome thanks again 😎👍
Hi-- I had changed the Throttle Position Sensor AND the Idle Control Valve, but my RPM still revs between 1500 and 2000 without stepping on the gas. I tried resetting by your advise of removing Negative Battery Terminal, it deserted but no changes. Any advice on what the problem should be? Greatly appreciate any assistance on this. Also love the video.
@@hyperislander my 5.2 l durango has been doing the same thing. it was fluctuating a lot in idle so my mechanic said lets switch the throttle position sensor. when i got the car back the car was idling extremely high. especially when i put it into drive then back into park. when i put it back into park it would idle about 1500 to 1700 rpm. so turning car on it idles at 1100 then in drive it idles normal then back into park it idles extremely high. please let me know if you figured anything out about it!
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. It may be as simple as performing a system reset. We recommend disconnecting the negative cable from your battery for at least five minutes. This will allow your onboard computer to perform a full reset. 😎👍🔧🔩
New symptoms with intemitten stalling out. Truck dies when warms up at normal driving temperature When it dies I start it and dies again I experience which to me a very rich gas smell. Does anyone know exactly what the problem could be? Thanks
E Von Thanks for watching & we hope the video helped. It seems as if you have an unbalanced Fuel-to-Air mixture ratio. Have you replaced your Air Filter within the last 10,000 miles? A clogged filter can lead to this. Also, you may find it extremely beneficial to clean your Throttle Body which will lead to increased efficiency. Let’s start there!

Jerome Jefferson Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment. Let’s get this figured out. Any time you run into these symptoms...it is most likely due to a transmission issue. First thing to check: Transmission fluid level. If your fluid level is low, your transmission is not being properly lubricated...leading to inefficient performance. If fluid level is low you want to refer to your owners manual and purchase the correct transmission fluid recommended for your vehicle. If your fluid is good, your transmission might be weakening. Definitely not uncommon! Keep us posted! Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your TH-cam notifications that would be awesome thanks again 😎👍🔧🔩
Hey Jerome, I have the 4.7 which my wife has been complaining of slow shifting. Come to find out there is a sensor when you remove the transmission pan. It's a Fluid Pressure Sensor which is roughly $40 at Rockauto.com. I don't trust eBay but OReilly and Autozone over charge for parts that tend to go bad prematurely. There could be other sensor or simple fixes BEFORE guessing the transmission is going bad. Hope that helps...
Thanks for checking out the video! A few weeks prior to changing out my sensor...it was doing the same thing. I noticed as the engine warmed up, it began acting normal again. It was the middle of the winter and my thoughts were its just a real cold engine when starting in the morning. Unfortunately the sensor never got any better as the winter ended. My thought is your sensor is beginning to fail very similar to mine. The cool thing is this is a very easy fix you can do without spending a lot of money. Hope this helps.

William B Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience William. It’s a great start. I recommend replacing this part as it is very simple and cost friendly. After replacing this part you are still experiencing the same symptoms, it’s very possible that your alternator is beginning it’s early stages of failure. I would verify your alternator is producing a charge for the battery. Take a few minutes and while the engine is running use a voltmeter to verify that the alternator is doing its job... if not it might be time to replace your alternator now rather than later to alleviate breaking down on the side of the road or on the way to and from very important occasions. The third thing you might want to consider is a new battery. As we all know batteries don’t last forever. So in the event that you replace the part mentioned in this video as well as your alternator and still no positive progress I recommend replacing a battery. Definitely keep us posted! Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your TH-cam notifications that would be awesome thanks again 😎👍🔧🔩
Thank you very much for the fast reply! I am going to check this out today and take it to AutoZone as the check engine light came on. Hopefully can get a code. I suspect it may be the alternator. New battery is already in. My son had been giving jumps here and there over the last several weeks with the cold weather. I didn't know (after just reading online) that could potentially be harmful to do even if you aren't crossing the cables/terminals. I'm hoping he didn't fry out certain parts. Will keep you posted. Thanks again!
William B Very cool & thanks for the update William! Let us know if you have any questions along the way! Let’s get this figured out! We will keep an eye out for your next update! This cold weather has been annoying haha! 😎👍🔧🔩
OK So by unplugging both wire harnesses above the ABS brake module that caused the check engine light to come on and disabled the speedometer. The code read that the speed sensor on the transmission was defective/bad. Actually that wasn't the case because ironically I just had that replaced about 6 months ago. I got in touch with my mechanic and he said, "If you plug one of the harnesses back in, see if the check engine light goes out, but also disconnect the battery first." Sure enough I did exactly that after plugging the smaller harness back in which didn't make the buzzing sound on the ABS module so I left it plugged in. Engine light went out. Speedometer still doesn't work which probably is tied into that ABS module somehow or another. Going to try and find it online if possible. It's an '00 Durango 4.7L. Saga continues!
William B Thanks for the update! Located on your rear axel is a speed sensor...it’s possible that this Sensor has become faulty. It’s a quick fix and part can be purchased at your local AutoZone. It’s screwed into axel & has an electrical connection! Let’s not rule this part out yet. 😎👍

I bought my boy a 2001 v-6 dodge dakota and all the sudden when he starts it after its been sitting awhile it idles very rough, like skipping kinda like it wants to stall, after it running for 2 or 3 minutes its smooth out and is fine, it only does it when it first started, is this similar to what yours was doing?? any thoughts or help from any one would be great.
It sounds very similar to what I was experiencing. This is such an inexpensive repair that you can complete in your garage. Try it out and let me know if it fixes the problem. If not...it may be lack of air/fuel to the engine at the first few moments of the start. Lets figure this out together!
Wow!! I took out the old one and it was covered iin carbon and gunk that I don't see how it was working. I put the new in after cleaning out the space it came out of with carburetor cleanet spray and pit the new one in and it runs like a new truck!!. Its been a week and still runs great. Such a easy fix and only cost 27.bucks. I bought the part thgthgat came with a life time warranty just in case it goes bad in the future, thanks for the help.
Just got an 02 Durango with the 4.7 ran like a dream up until a few days ago when I decided to do something good for it and clean the blue cloud that was sitting over the battery terminals. Disconnected the battery to clean it, reconnected everything then it started idling low and stalling. I can’t back out of the driveway without it stalling. Would this help?

Keep in mind, he is a DIY mechanic like alot of us are on here. Also, no one can say, "Yeah replace this part or that part", and promise your truck will be fine. Come on now. You claimed you disconnected your battery, cleaned it, then reconnected it; why would you assume that a sensor that controls the throttle (revving) would have anything to do with unhooking and rehooking the battery? Try the obvious. Did you check the fuses FOR the ignition, engine, etc? Did you hook up the battery correctly and snuggly? Plus, give more detail of what you did and what the truck is doing when you try to start it.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders hey man thx for ur help, am. gonna post on my youtube channel what's happening with me. and thx again for ur reply i appriciate you.
Thanks for viewing and commenting. You may have a slight/small and clogged up exhaust....may be catalytic converter....so @ this point the truck isn't much of a drivable / dependable ride....correct? Or does it drive fine and just idle poorly?
elektrikman34 Thanks for watching & it’s possible due to the importance of this part. When this part fails, your engine performance will degrade & may possibly cause other system sensors to detect that something is wrong.

Changed mine two years ago on my 2006 Durango. Worked great. I took it to the local Dodge dealer and they had no idea why the RPM's fluctuated like that. Fixed it myself after seeing another TH-cam video. The bad sensor actually caused my Durango to shut off while I was towing our small boat home from vacation.
Thanks for viewing...I ran into the same problem....called a few repair stations and they said that I would have to bring the truck in so they could look....so I got online and figured it out and saved some $$. Subscribe to the channel if you're up to it.
This is EXACTLY what's happening to me right now! I was on the freeway going 70mph and it just stalled! I had like 6 seconds to pull over before the wheel locked up.

Thanks for the video, this completely fixed my vehicle's hesitation and inconsistent idle. I also had it stall a few times at stoplights. I would recommend for the first step try a fuel additive with PEA, such as chevron techron. This will clear any deposits in the fuel system. In my case, the throttle position sensor was the problem. After changing the sensor not only does it idle better but I also immediately noticed much more responsive acceleration. If feels like I added thirty horsepower. I would also recommend disconnecting the negative battery terminal before the installation. After replacing the TPS and reconnecting the terminal it will reboot the computer system. If others replace the TPS and the problem still persists the next step is checking either the mass airflow sensor (MAF) or manifold absolute pressure sensor (MAP) depending on the vehicle.Thanks again, I hope this video help others as much as it did me :)

before you replace anything on a durango that wont stay running after a dead battery replace or recharged, you need to do the following to reset your computer chip: 1) disconnect neg cable 2) turn key to start position and hold for 30 seconds while pushing your gas to the floor. 3) reconnect your neg terminal. 4) restart your engine and it will run fine.

Battery went completely dead when my truck was at a body shop and it would not idle after charging the battery. Came here and saw this post. My logic part of the brain said if a batt. cable is unhooked no current or information will flow anywhere, therefor this will not work. Then I thought if I take 45 seconds and try this and it does work great and if not I lost 45 seconds. No clue why or how this worked but just got back from a little road test and my truck is idling perfect. Can anyone tell me how this worked? Thank you for the info.
Im doing this right now hope it work 😩
Did this. It worked flawlessly. I had run down my battery from leaving my headlights on. Thanks!!
@Leo Perez chances are it will work. Mine is a 99 Dakota, 3.7L V6.

I just bought a 2002 Dodge Durango SLT a couple of days ago and I took it to get emission tested and the guy said that it idled high and that's when I found this video. I went ahead and purchased the throttle position sensor to get rid of the high idle; unfortunately that did not work. Now gonna replace the idle control valve right underneath that TPS and I'm really hoping that works.
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience Patrick. Having an idle that is high is a common symptom of the Idle Control Valve beginning to fault. Im glad to hear you changed your Throttle Position Sensor as well because those fail every 5-8 years from articles I've read in the past...so now you should be good to go for awhile on that note haha...Definitely keep me posted on your repair. Please Subscribe to the channel and turn on your TH-cam notifications that would be sweet thanks again Patrick!
DIY With Michael Borders thanks for the swift reply Michael. Yeah I mean even though replacing the TPS didn't get rid of the high idle it doesn't hurt to have a new sensor though you know what I mean? So like I said I'm gonna replace the idle control valve today and see if that gets rid of the engine code and high idle but if that does not work I'm going to check for vac leaks and go from there. I'll keep you in the loop.
Patrik O'Hullahan Ver cool...if that doesn’t work, we can begin digging deeper into finding the cause 😎👍
I went through three new sensors. They all did the same thing. Then I put the old one back in, no issues.
That’s odd, thanks for sharing. Hope all is well.

Throttle positioning sensor better known as TPS. THE OTHER SENSOR THAT AFFECTS IDLE IS CALLED .... IAC IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE . CHANGE THEM BOTH THAT WILL REMEDY ANY IDLE OR STALL ISSUES YOU MAY BE ENCOUNTERING

I tried replacing mine before I put the new one on and it made my 1997 dodge dakota run at 2 on the rev meter and ran it for 20 or so minutes and never changed so I put my old one back on and was okay it still does it a little bit but nothing crazy only a very slight amount I mostly notice it when I stop at a stop light in town but it's nothing as bad as yours mine might go from .8 to .9 on the rev meter i'm not even gonna worry about it it's an old truck with 192k on it

So I own a dodge Dakota sport 02 and we just replaced our cat( the main one apparently there's 3 for our model n make) now our trucks doing this surging thing while in park. ( just like yours was) We are do for smog this month Oct, and well wouldn't u no these Lil things decide to malfunction right as we are ready to take it down to our mechanic for smog. It cost us 650$ for the cat which isn't bad considering the original one was gna cost us 1,200! But in the state of California they do not make original cats for our year of truck. Anyhow the universal one was the only way to replace it. Our mechanic had to modify it. In which case he did a fabulous job. Im assuming I'm gna have to replace this throttle position sensor before I smog it right? THANK U FOR THIS VIDEO. IT LOOKS VERY EASY, I love the fact ur assistant is female, cuz well I'm a female to. And if she can do it I sure can!!

I have the same issue only when I put it in Drive or Reverse it clears the issue until next time I turn off and on the car So another words when I need to warm up my car I have to start it then put in D then I can put in P and let it warm with a normal Idle
Rob P Thanks for checking out the video! Have you had any recent work done to your engine? I have a friend that ran into a similar issue years ago and it dealt with carbon build up in his throttle body. I'm not so sure this is your issue though but I'm not going to rule it out. Have you replaced the spark plugs and wires within the last 2 years?
DIY With Michael Borders Thanks for the reply . Yes I changed my plugs 2 months ago and I actually don't have wires I have individual coils but I think you're right about the carbon build up I actually have done a lot of work on the car lately because it sat for almost 2 yrs in my driveway but I've had the Idle issue for longer than that and always thought it might be a vacuum leak until recently Because if it was it would always have surging idle but it goes away which leads me to wonder if it might be a failing TPS or MAP or IAC Valve I just ordered a TPS I have a good feeling about this
Awesome, thanks for the update! Definitely keep me posted.
DIY With Michael Borders So I have replaced everything I mentioned and took my Throttle Body and Intake Manifold apart replace the Gasket and cleaned everything out No change also Had to replace my Harmonic Balancer last week and decided to also do the Timing belt Water pump and Tensioner. Idle still Revving until I take it out of park that resets it for some reason as long as I put it in D or R the idle will be steady.
Mine did that years ago. Hasn't done it sense. What I figured out was, even after getting a new tank of fuel, the ethanol would draw water after sitting for a couple of days and faster if you left it outside in a humid climate (Florida) and not in a garage and then try to run the truck on it. Threw some octane booster in it, and drove around. I then swapped to the ethanol free fuel (if it's available at your station) I thought it was a sensor but the truck never bucked or accelerated oddly from a stop light. It never ran rough driving around town, cruising the highway and WOT was normal After coming home from getting fuel once I let it idle and as soon as i put it in park it started surging. rev it and the rpms would fall below 500 on recovery and the truck would struggle to avoid a stall. Since swapping to the Ethanol free fuel (even in 2022 with the prices i do half tanks of 87 and 87/89 ethanol free ) but add in small bit of injector cleaner and octane booster every 2-3 months.
Thanks for watching & we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

I'm having the same problem with my 01' Durango. Could this be the remedy?
Almost 90% of the people who've had this problem said the issue fixed itself. There's no need to go to a mechanic. Just give it time and the computer sensor will reprogram itself.

Won't be driving around praying it doesn't stall until it "fixes itself"! I FIXED it!
I have a problem when I speed up from idle. Above 2500 or 3000 rpm it begins to miss and cut out. I had that problem on my PT Cruiser and when I checked the crankshaft sensor, I found the wiring had been worn through while touching some hoses. It actually wore through the ground wire. Not that my Dakota problem is the same, but it's the same symptoms.
I have a 94 dakota and i have the same problem sometimes it cut off
Thanks for watching & replacing this part will definitely help get your engine back to normal. Keep us posted.

Ive replaced my Throttle Position Sensor a few months ago, took it to a shop and at the time I did have a vacuum leak. And it was a Intake Manifold that had a crack in it. I got that done. Also installed a new Camshaft, Crank Sensor, Idle Air Control Sensor, Purge Valve Solenoid. Since I got the Intake done, it doesnt run so rough as it used to. However, the needle still goes up and down feeling like it wants to stall. I also know that there is a small slice in the rubber hose that connects from the Purge Valve to the engine wrapped with electrical tape. (Small hose that connects to hard plastic) on the Driver side wrapped with electrical tape. The current codes that are popping up are 0456, 0440 & 0522. I dont know if that has anything to do with it...any suggestions?
Thanks for checking out the video. That's a lot of work fixing all those parts and still running into this annoying idle issue. How often is the truck used? The reason I ask is because I have a friend that has a 02 Dakota and uses it railey to pull his trailer....which he only pulls once a month. The engine sits long terms without starting. We talked about it and he began driving his truck for a few days straight and never saw the idle issue again. The second option may be...as silly as it sounds...an old/clogged air filter. With having a shop complete all that work, you would think the issue would be solved. Keep me posted! 😀👍
Its my daily driver. The Air filter is a little dirty but at the same time I replaced it 2+ years ago roughly around that but it still isnt that bad. Just one day it started doing it and I really thought the Intake Manifold would solve it. I still wonder if its the slice in the hose causing it..I forgot what its called...(my has a green plastic cap kinda in front of the brake booster sortof) On your Dakota, itll be the same setup if you saw it. But its driving me crazy...alos a few months ago. I took off the top cover off the engine and cleaned the Mass Air Flow Sensor...I only did that because that part is around $80.00. It idles up and down when it wants to.
I definitely understand the annoyance. The engine relies on the BIG THREE components for correct and efficient performance.
1. Air
2. Fuel
3. Spark
That number one item may be experiencing a lack of performance due to the leak in the vacuum line.
Within the next few days, I will be popping the hood and inspecting the small things such as Air Filter again, the one hose with a small slice. I doubt the Gas cap. When I had the work done to it, they did take a smoke machine to it. But I have a locking gas cap, Im starting to think if its even a Vapor Canister causing all this. It only acts up when it wants to. If im sitting at a light, it will barely do anything. At a different time, the needle will go crazy and sometimes will drop below 500 RPM when sitting at a light. I just dont understand it.....
Sounds like you're about to have some fun...definitely keep me posted!
Great video, I’ve ordered the part but I’m just wondering what kind of tool is needed for those two screws?

If my truck idles from 1100rpms and it stutters when I press the gas pedal can that also be the idle
Thanks for watching & it’s definitely possible. You may be experiencing a lack of fuel or air.
We recommend replacing your air filter, a lack of air will degrade engine performance. If that doesn’t help, you may have dirty fuel injectors. A fuel system cleaning additive may help.
same problem I have replaced IAC TPS computer, temp. sending unit map sensor cleaned throttle body replaced both oxygen sensors still have the same problem.
jfri59
Thanks for watching & sharing your experience. Next, we recommend replacing your Air Filter as well as adding a fuel system cleaning additive to your tank.
It’s possible that you have a lack of oxygen flow to the engine & a new Air Filter may help.
It’s also possible that you have moisture in your fuel or dirty fuel injectors. A fuel system additive may help.

Hello there! What did it act like when you drove highway speeds? My 2004 Dakota is doing weird idling, but when I drive highway speeds the RPM's will jump up from normal rpm to higher rpm out of nowhere. Would that be the same sensor? I was also told possibly camshaft position sensor??

my 2003 durango's engine reves when i start it in the morning but the rpm is ok around 800 rpm. this would last for about 20 to 30 seconds then it would go away, only happens in the morning the rest of the day no problem. any idea what causes this engine reving? or maybe it is not the engine, but sure sounds like the engine is working hard.
nonoyd
Thanks for watching & we hope the video helped. This is very common. Our engine on our Camry does the same thing. A cold engine requires a slightly higher rpm after start to keep the engine running. As the engine warms up, the onboard computer will communicate with all sensors & begin to allow engine rpm to decrease slowly until 800-1000 rpm’s. Hope this helps.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders thanks for replying, but what i am saying is the is that when the engine reves the rpm is at 800, and when it stop reving the rpm stays at 800 which is my durango's normal idle rpm.so maybe the engine is just making a loud noise that sounds like it is running on a high rpm, because the car's rpm when i start it is just 800 and stays until the reving sound stops.
nonoyd

I have 03 Dodge Ram 1500 changed Tps sensor 3 times code keeps poping up truck runs fine for min then throttle keeps jumping up and down Then when you push down on the gas pedal no response and then engages do you have any ideas
If I'm reading and understanding this correctly....I have seen this a few times over the years. A friend of mine had run into this issue last summer. Every time he pressed the gas pedal, a few seconds would go by and then the car would accelerate....it ended up being a worn out transmission that wasn't catching when it was supposed to.

Any experience with Durango's the don't recharge the battery. Changed multiple parts in Elec. system including the PCM.
LifebytheBook
Thanks for watching & sharing your experience. A few things come to mind!
1. Any loose connections. Do a thorough inspection of all electrical wiring throughout system to verify that there are no loose connections.
2. Any signs of stress on the electrical wiring? We recommend doing an inspection and verifying that you see no signs of stress such as melted wires or frayed wires... these conditions will ultimately cause electrical shorting/arching and interrupt the electrical current.
3. An old battery will definitely cause a lack in starting power...especially in cold weather/temps. Purchasing a brand new battery will definitely help the efficiency of engine starts moving forward.
Let’s start there! Keep us posted!

I have replaced the PCM, the TPS, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the IAC Valve. PO123 and my '98 Dakota 3.9L won't stop the issue. Could it be a wiring issue? I have also reset the programming.
Well, detached the negative for ten minutes and return it back to normal position.
Axiom Unknown Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience! We read your second comment regarding the Battery being disconnected. Has that fixed the issue??
If not, let’s get this figured out together! Has there been any recent work done to the truck in the last year? This will help determine whether or not any recent repairs have anything to do with your engine performance issue! Keep us posted! Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your TH-cam notifications that would be awesome thanks again 😎👍🔧🔩
The battery reset didn't fix it, replaced a hose which stopped me from idling high but my RPM is still behaving erratically. PO123 remains, it has to be a wiring issue.
Axiom Unknown No prob let’s move to the next possible cause that we can check without spending $$.
Let’s take a look at your intake hose that connects the Air Filter Box to the Throttle Body. Take a very close look & see if you can see any cracks, holes, or disconnection in any form. Then take a few minutes and remove hose & inspect inside to verify there isn’t anything inside interfering with the air flow. Then reinstall. At any point this hose becomes clogged or cracks and allows air from the outside to interrupt the airflow from the Air Filter box to the Throttle Body...your engine will suffer!

Changed IAC/ TPS still running at around 600 rpm 2001 dodge Dakota 4.7 V8 any other ideas?
E Von
Thanks for watching, we appreciate it! After replacing sensor, the next thing we recommend doing is disconnecting your negative terminal from your battery and letting it sit in this configuration for at least 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, reconnect your negative terminal to your battery & start engine. Let engine run for 10-15 minutes.
Following these steps will give your engine & onboard computer a chance to reset & hopefully reconnect & communicate to the new sensor you installed. Once the onboard computer reconnects to the new sensor, the part should hopefully work & your issue should be resolved.

Hi Michael. Ok did the disconnect of the negative side terminal and did a further step, inspection of throttle body upon inspection throttle body is very clean since I had taken owner ship about 3 1/2 years ago, Never cleaned it before. I did spray it with throttle body cleaner the red can since I had it all taken apart. I do keep a regular maintenance on my K & N air filter. So at this point still very puzzled at the cause of intermittently dying when driving up to a stop sign or light. Still idles at about 600 rpm. Might have to take it in to the dealer. Thanks for all your videos and help. Just wanted to give an update.

Thanks for the reply & update. Have you replaced Spark Plugs & Wires recently?
It’s also possible that you have a slightly clogged Fuel Filter. A fuel cleaning product might help clean out the filter & igniters.
Keep us posted! 😎👍🔧🔩
After the sensor is changed is there anything else you need to do? I keep hearing that the computer won't recognize you correct idle etc!?!
tom66909 Thanks for checking out the video. I noticed a change right away after replacing sensor. If you run into the sensor not performing effectively...remove negative terminal from Battery, let sit for 10 minutes, then reinstall negative terminal...System should reset and work correctly. Keep me posted. Please Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome thanks again 😎👍
Hi-- I had changed the Throttle Position Sensor AND the Idle Control Valve, but my RPM still revs between 1500 and 2000 without stepping on the gas. I tried resetting by your advise of removing Negative Battery Terminal, it deserted but no changes. Any advice on what the problem should be? Greatly appreciate any assistance on this. Also love the video.
@@hyperislander my 5.2 l durango has been doing the same thing. it was fluctuating a lot in idle so my mechanic said lets switch the throttle position sensor. when i got the car back the car was idling extremely high. especially when i put it into drive then back into park. when i put it back into park it would idle about 1500 to 1700 rpm. so turning car on it idles at 1100 then in drive it idles normal then back into park it idles extremely high. please let me know if you figured anything out about it!
I did this too but I'm still having the same problem don't know what to do next.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. It may be as simple as performing a system reset.
We recommend disconnecting the negative cable from your battery for at least five minutes. This will allow your onboard computer to perform a full reset.

New symptoms with intemitten stalling out.
Truck dies when warms up at normal driving temperature
When it dies I start it and dies again I experience which to me a very rich gas smell. Does anyone know exactly what the problem could be? Thanks
E Von
Thanks for watching & we hope the video helped. It seems as if you have an unbalanced Fuel-to-Air mixture ratio.
Have you replaced your Air Filter within the last 10,000 miles? A clogged filter can lead to this.
Also, you may find it extremely beneficial to clean your Throttle Body which will lead to increased efficiency.
Let’s start there!

Is it basically the same process on the 2001 Dakota with a 2.4 engine?
Thanks for watching, you will find this to be very similar to an 01 Dakota. 👍
Thank you, is it a 4.7 liter?

I have a 1999 dodge durango and it shifts very slow. What could be the problem. It's a 5.2 L.
Jerome Jefferson
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment. Let’s get this figured out.
Any time you run into these symptoms...it is most likely due to a transmission issue.
First thing to check: Transmission fluid level. If your fluid level is low, your transmission is not being properly lubricated...leading to inefficient performance. If fluid level is low you want to refer to your owners manual and purchase the correct transmission fluid recommended for your vehicle.
If your fluid is good, your transmission might be weakening. Definitely not uncommon! Keep us posted!

Hey Jerome, I have the 4.7 which my wife has been complaining of slow shifting. Come to find out there is a sensor when you remove the transmission pan. It's a Fluid Pressure Sensor which is roughly $40 at Rockauto.com. I don't trust eBay but OReilly and Autozone over charge for parts that tend to go bad prematurely. There could be other sensor or simple fixes BEFORE guessing the transmission is going bad. Hope that helps...
my 00 dogde 1500 v6 dose this but the rpms gos lower and lower but once driving its fine
Thanks for checking out the video! A few weeks prior to changing out my sensor...it was doing the same thing. I noticed as the engine warmed up, it began acting normal again. It was the middle of the winter and my thoughts were its just a real cold engine when starting in the morning. Unfortunately the sensor never got any better as the winter ended. My thought is your sensor is beginning to fail very similar to mine. The cool thing is this is a very easy fix you can do without spending a lot of money. Hope this helps.

i have a 2001 dodge durango. and it does this as soon as I start the car and when I drive it it goes up and down and feels as if it's pulling me.
Danielle Huber Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment and experience Danielle. I recommend replacing this part as you are experiencing the same symptoms. I purchased the part online. Was very affordable and arrived in less that a few days. Keep me posted.

I have an '00 Durango that has high RPMs with a fluctuating battery level (new battery)
Do you think this may be the culprit?
William B Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience William. It’s a great start. I recommend replacing this part as it is very simple and cost friendly.
After replacing this part you are still experiencing the same symptoms, it’s very possible that your alternator is beginning it’s early stages of failure. I would verify your alternator is producing a charge for the battery. Take a few minutes and while the engine is running use a voltmeter to verify that the alternator is doing its job... if not it might be time to replace your alternator now rather than later to alleviate breaking down on the side of the road or on the way to and from very important occasions.
The third thing you might want to consider is a new battery. As we all know batteries don’t last forever. So in the event that you replace the part mentioned in this video as well as your alternator and still no positive progress I recommend replacing a battery.
Definitely keep us posted! Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your TH-cam notifications that would be awesome thanks again 😎👍🔧🔩
Thank you very much for the fast reply! I am going to check this out today and take it to AutoZone as the check engine light came on. Hopefully can get a code. I suspect it may be the alternator. New battery is already in. My son had been giving jumps here and there over the last several weeks with the cold weather. I didn't know (after just reading online) that could potentially be harmful to do even if you aren't crossing the cables/terminals. I'm hoping he didn't fry out certain parts. Will keep you posted. Thanks again!
William B Very cool & thanks for the update William! Let us know if you have any questions along the way! Let’s get this figured out! We will keep an eye out for your next update! This cold weather has been annoying haha! 😎👍🔧🔩
OK So by unplugging both wire harnesses above the ABS brake module that caused the check engine light
to come on and disabled the speedometer. The code read that the speed sensor on the transmission was defective/bad. Actually that wasn't the case because ironically I just had that replaced about 6 months ago. I got in touch with my mechanic and he said, "If you plug one of the harnesses back in, see if the check engine light goes out, but also disconnect the battery first."
Sure enough I did exactly that after plugging the smaller harness back in which didn't make the buzzing sound on the ABS module so I left it plugged in. Engine light went out. Speedometer still doesn't work which probably is tied into that ABS module somehow or another. Going to try and find it online if possible. It's an '00 Durango 4.7L. Saga continues!
William B Thanks for the update! Located on your rear axel is a speed sensor...it’s possible that this Sensor has become faulty. It’s a quick fix and part can be purchased at your local AutoZone. It’s screwed into axel & has an electrical connection! Let’s not rule this part out yet. 😎👍
What's the adjustments if any?
Ed ogle
Thanks for watching Ed. After replacing this part, we saw a huge improvement to our engine performance. That little part sure caused some annoying engine trouble however we were very pleased with the new part & it’s low price!

I bought my boy a 2001 v-6 dodge dakota and all the sudden when he starts it after its been sitting awhile it idles very rough, like skipping kinda like it wants to stall, after it running for 2 or 3 minutes its smooth out and is fine, it only does it when it first started, is this similar to what yours was doing?? any thoughts or help from any one would be great.
It sounds very similar to what I was experiencing. This is such an inexpensive repair that you can complete in your garage. Try it out and let me know if it fixes the problem. If not...it may be lack of air/fuel to the engine at the first few moments of the start. Lets figure this out together!
+Michael Borders okay thanks , let you know. I'm going to get on it tommarow or friday. I'll let you know . thanks mike
Wow!! I took out the old one and it was covered iin carbon and gunk that I don't see how it was working. I put the new in after cleaning out the space it came out of with carburetor cleanet spray and pit the new one in and it runs like a new truck!!. Its been a week and still runs great. Such a easy fix and only cost 27.bucks. I bought the part thgthgat came with a life time warranty just in case it goes bad in the future, thanks for the help.
That is AWESOME...thanks for the update. Nothing better than saving $$ and getting your vehicle back on the road! Thanks again!
Just got an 02 Durango with the 4.7 ran like a dream up until a few days ago when I decided to do something good for it and clean the blue cloud that was sitting over the battery terminals. Disconnected the battery to clean it, reconnected everything then it started idling low and stalling. I can’t back out of the driveway without it stalling. Would this help?

We love your TH-cam channel name, that awesome! 😎👍
Thanks for watching & sharing your experience. A few things come to mind!
1. Any loose connections. Do a thorough inspection of all electrical wiring throughout system to verify that there are no loose connections.
2. Any signs of stress on the electrical wiring? We recommend doing an inspection and verifying that you see no signs of stress such as melted wires or frayed wires... these conditions will ultimately cause electrical shorting/arching and interrupt the electrical current.
3. An old battery will definitely cause a lack in starting power...especially in cold weather/temps. Purchasing a brand new battery will definitely help the efficiency of engine starts moving forward.
But replacing battery is the last step...let’s get this figured out!
Let’s start there! Keep us posted!

Keep in mind, he is a DIY mechanic like alot of us are on here. Also, no one can say, "Yeah replace this part or that part", and promise your truck will be fine. Come on now.
You claimed you disconnected your battery, cleaned it, then reconnected it; why would you assume that a sensor that controls the throttle (revving) would have anything to do with unhooking and rehooking the battery? Try the obvious. Did you check the fuses FOR the ignition, engine, etc? Did you hook up the battery correctly and snuggly? Plus, give more detail of what you did and what the truck is doing when you try to start it.
When I start my truck my trucks RPM and Speed gauge jump to 5K RPM and 70mph and then drop down

Throttle positioning sensor not idle positioning center
Good morning ☕️
We appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Our box and part number states Idle position sensor.
Anyone have a link for this part???? All the ones I see are completely different
He said he got his off Amazon so I looked it up and it’s cheaper then autozone but I’m in California
I found out what the problem was...the whole time it was a Intake Manifold
Online Gamer5150 Thanks for the update! If you don't mind me asking, how much did that cost? It's all fixed and you're back on the road? 😀👍
DIY With Michael Borders $400.00 lol
Thanks for the update :-)
DIY With Michael Borders No problem, & thank you.
hello guys, i have a 2000 dodge durango, when i go full throttle on 1st gear it still going up to the red, is there anyway to make a rpm limiter on 5.500 or 6000?i'm afraid to damage my engine.
Ralph Ayoub
Thanks for watching Ralph! Great question. This is usually signs of wear or stress on transmission however it’s very possible that this little part will definitely help.

im looking for little help i have 2001 dodge dakota my rpms wont go past 2000 i ve replaced the map sensor and the tps any thoughts
Thanks for viewing and commenting.
You may have a slight/small and clogged up exhaust....may be catalytic converter....so @ this point the truck isn't much of a drivable / dependable ride....correct? Or does it drive fine and just idle poorly?
It drives just very slow but yes
Not very dependable
+Husani Lampkin when was the last time you changed the spark plugs and wires?
Would engine light come on for this?
elektrikman34
Thanks for watching & it’s possible due to the importance of this part. When this part fails, your engine performance will degrade & may possibly cause other system sensors to detect that something is wrong.
If that happens, we recommend replacing this part shown in this video & seeing if the engine light turns off afterwards...new part may allow other sensors throughout the engine to go back to normal.
