Thank you! Repaced all 4 O2 sensors ran good 16.5 mpg milage, getting occasional cat efficieny bank 1 code, now seeing leam code. Checking manifold for leaks & will swap out Mass Flow. Kinda Easter Egging but like you trying to stay away from dealers. Great video, most appreciated!
Thanks for the great video. I have recently replaced the throttle body assembly for the codes it was sending but then another code and problem cropped up. Luckily, your video saved the day for me since it was a MAP sensor that was easily replaced thanks to your video.
My truck recently would get the lightning bolt intermittently; turn on at some point during cruise control and also during regular city driving. Lightning bolt would turn on and truck would lose power immediately, but then regain power once I turned off cruise control or took my foot off the pedal. I replaced the throttle body- didn’t work. Replaced the MAP sensor- ram cruise control up the grapevine in Cali; no issues. It’s only been one day, but I put it through it’s paces and so far problem went away.
@@KK-hy6sx it ended up being the brake pedal sensor. I noticed it once when I saw my rear tail lights not lighting up with equal amount of power to both. All my problems went away and have been trouble free since.
Kudos for your "WAIT!" message, at exactly the right time. OK, maybe a couple of seconds too late, but the super-eager viewer :) Thanks for thinking about that.
I have been trying to trace diagnose a few 02 sensors in my 2005 dodge ram 1500 4.7 slt. You're initial symptoms are what I have experienced. I swapped out the drivers set first and noticed a tremendous improvement. And just recently the passengers side. But now all the faulty 02 sensor codes are back. With no luck. Next, I sand papered the G107 body ground on the passenger fender and I'm waiting to see if the codes come back. If not then great. I was looking into a schematic in the shop manual and found the map sensor and coolant temperature sensor (might) have a play in the 02 sensors circuit. So I'll be looking into those soon.
You have some great vids, but if you could invest in a tripod so you can get those critical shots when you are unclipping and releasing electrical connections and other things that are similar it would really be great. I know myself that sometimes when you do things for the first time you are not sure how much force you can put on a part without damaging it and if we could see those critical disconnections live on video it would ease people and make things even easier to follow. Otherwise your clips are really fantastic.
A tripod would definitely be helpful, but actually I don't even have a video camera. I actually film everything with my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone. I suppose there is probably some sort of adapter I could purchase to hold the phone on a tripod, but I really haven't looked into it. To be honest, if I was charging people to watch my videos, I'd probably be more concerned about the video quality, but I'm really just doing this to help people out, so I can't really justify spending a lot of money on fancy equipment. I just do the best I can with what I have to work with, and hopefully I can still demonstrate the procedures effectively enough to help others. Thanks for watching!
+Matt Payne I understand that completely. My first tripod I got for $10 at a local flea market and used it on a really old camera for some of my early videos. I eventually bought another one but it was only about $15 to $20. That is actually the same type of phone that I have myself and man does it take really good photos. I have used the video modes some but not for any TH-cam content. I invested in a nicer camera for that, but any useful information a person can upload on here to help people out is great regardless of all the details. Thanks a lot for your videos just the same.
Yeah, I've been really impressed with the S4's camera, too! It takes phenomenal photos/videos in good lighting. However, I have noticed that the quality suffers considerably in low light, resulting in a lot of pixelation. I can work around that, though. Eventually I would definitely like to have a dedicated video camera for TH-cam content, and hopefully I'll reach that point some day. Thanks for your kind words, and your advice is sound. Thanks a lot for watching, and kudos to you too for trying to help people out with your videos!
I have a code of p1129 had plugs changed .egr.changed new mopar camshaft sensor and light still comes on could be my o2 sensors bank 2 this been problem for 3 years or more finally got my camshaft sensor figured out .cleaned the harness to where it meets before pcm
I think I may have found a problem with mine. My sensor is facing the other way. Wonder if that's a reason I'm having a long crank? It does start an runs almost great. Every so often it cuts off.
@@jjames_1770 well it turns out I bought to bad ones in a row. I bought a third from advance an I tried the so called magnet trick were you pass metal over it an it's supposed to have a strong pull. We'll first 2 had strong pulls. One from advance was weak. They let me check a few others they had. All the same. Put it in an iv been running great for 5-6 months now. Just what worked for me on the sensor hope we're talking about the cam or cranks sensor. On the front under altenater. Good luck.
did the problem get fixed? my truck just started doing similar things especially when I'm at the light it just shuts off . i don't really want to replace anything that does not need replacing unless i have too if you know what i mean.
Honestly, replacing the MAP sensor really had no discernible affect. However, I since read some information about running a dedicated ground wire from the throttle body to the body of the truck and decided to give that a try. That actually made a significant impact, which is most noticeable in my engine idle while sitting at a stoplight. Before running the ground wire, the engine would idle erratically, bouncing between 500-800 RPM. Now, it almost always idles perfectly at about 600 RPM, and I'd like to say I have noticed better throttle response, too, though I can't physically observe that like I can the change in idle performance. I don't quite understand the science behind this, but it seems to be accepted that this really does improve the idle. I'm sure it has something to do with electrical interference and the quality of the ground connection between the throttle and the engine. I keep meaning to make a video about this simple procedure, but haven't gotten around to it yet. But, literally all I did was run a #12 stranded electrical wire between one of the throttle body mounting bolts and a ground bolt on the truck body inside the engine bay. I used crimp connectors on both ends, and zip-tied the wire to the existing harness running across the top of the firewall. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Did you just splice the wire from throttle body wire. picked out the ground.. and connected that to body of the truck ? to ground it ? Cause i have the same problem..
+jorge sanchez Hi Jorge, yes - my problem seems to have gone away after changing the MAP sensor. The fuel economy has gotten much better at highway speeds, and I have noticed better acceleration as well. I can't say for sure if the MAP sensor was the only cause for my issues, but so far it seems to have made things much better. Thanks for watching!
+jorge sanchez Cool, good work! Yeah, in my experience, performance problems seem to most often be related to more than one thing. In my case, I'm still wondering if I'm having some electronic throttle control issues. I haven't gotten any codes yet, but sometimes the acceleration from a stop when going uphill is really weird. Good luck with your issue - I hope you figure it out. Let me know if you do.
Thanx man I have been up all night trying to figure out the problem.i just bought a 2007 10g cash ran great when I test drove out 100miles on it today and ran into the same problem feels like I'm towing something and it hesitates I am going to replace this sensor tomorrow hopefully my problem is solved
Not reading all comments I just had a problem with mine cutting out,going 5mph or just shutting off,after taking it to local garage and spending 500$they replaced the gas pedal said that was the problem got it home died.towed to dealership fixed the problem they said oil pressure senser shorting out another 500$.i had replaced cam &crank Sensers myself bfore.
Omar, unfortunately this did not make much of a difference. However, I recently had my spark plugs changed and that seems to have significantly increased the performance of the engine. Even though I have had the plugs changed at regular intervals, and ev even more often than the service manual recommends, the truck is now running better after having new plugs installed. I am wondering if the plugs were not gapped correctly the last time I had them replaced.
Matt are you from Ga.? I want to know because I know a guy named Matt Payne and his father's name is Charlie and mother Lynn. So I am wondering if it could be by chance?
it was the Catalytic converter plugged, no codes . but this truck doesn't have an egr valve wich made me think stuff must get all clogged , I didn't even replaced the cats , I just put a cleaner and boy I felt the difference in a day . my truck would stall on a daily basis, today it didn't.
Nice! What product did you use? It's interesting that you say this - I recently have had a P0420 code for low catalyst efficiency and have been wondering if my cat is plugged up, causing some of my issues. On Saturday I added a product made by CRC called "Guaranteed to Pass" and am waiting to see if it improves the engine performance at all. I don't put a lot of faith in "miracle fix" products, but a lot of people have reviewed this product and claimed it helped eliminate P0420 codes, so we'll see how it goes.
No, it's a Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor. A Mass Airflow Sensor would be located somewhere in the air intake hose before the intake manifold, but the third generation Rams actually do not have Mass Airflow Sensors. Check the link below for an example of the replacement part in this video: www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/delphi-automotive/engine-sensors---emissions/engine---drivetrain-sensors/manifold-absolute-pressure--map--sensor/37b4f07416bd/delphi-automotive-3-terminal-manifold-absolute-pressure-sensor/dlp0/ps10238/v/a/28845/automotive-truck-2008-dodge-ram-1500?pos=3
I know what you mean no codes so you could replace 50 things and not fix the issue, so far I put a tps, ICA, and map sensor, I won't give up I'm pretty sure I'll find it . my truck does the same exact thing stalls and don't respond to the gas pedal and suddenly will shoot out so fast, it's dangerous man. some say it's the fuel pump inside gas tank failing that starves the mix , it makes sense I'll pursue that lead.
+jorge sanchez Jorge - it's frustrating, isn't it? I've been meaning to check my fuel pressure, too. I tried a couple weeks ago and realized my pressure gauge was broken. I just got another one, so I think I'll check that tonight...thanks for mentioning it. I'll let you know if I find anything funny. Good luck on your search for your problem, too.
JabariXL not yet , I have a couple of leads , the first one is to check the evap box under the driver outside, some of the six clamps could get loose on the hoses. Also I will check the egr valve if there is one , third I will be replacing the in tank fuel pump $86 on ebay, if any of those don't fix the issue last thing will be replace the ecu unit $150 ebay. Hopefully any of this 4 things gets me the truck running with out stalling or dying on slow rpms, it really only does it ok once in awhile, it runs good for the most part.
+jorge sanchez thanks for the reply Jorge, I just changed my map it had a bit of oil on it that seemed to have fixed it but I'm not so certain yet. But I've driven for about 30 mins so far an it's running perfect. Keep me posted buddy mines procharged @11lbs of boost. Hopefully this map was the issue.
JabariXL hopefully it works for you, I changed map sensor, tps, ica, clean the throttle body, another thing that a buddy suggested was to check the catalytic converter for clogging and clean the o2 sensors. I'll keep u posted.

The throttle body does not require dealer programming
When I remove it it runs fine when I bought the new one it runs the same could it be a pigtail?
Looks easy enough...hope it rids my P0068 code. Worth a shot, thx.
