idle

2002 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7L 2WD About 2 years ago Truck idled erraticly and shifted at wrong times, replaced TPS and problem fixed for about a year. Then same symptoms resurfaced, switched from random part bought on Amazon to local Orielly part with Lifetime Warranty. I'm currently on my 4th...

Hoping someone with diesel experience can give me some direction on how to locate the cause of what I can only describe as some erratic idle and throttle response to transmission changes and moving from a stopped position. All of the described symptoms began happening a few hours after a water...

Hi, I am new to the site and wanted to say thank you for all the helpful information that I have read since finding the site. I have a 2002 Ram 1500 with a 4.7 I recently purchased the truck and have had an issue with it from the start. At first it would not idle at all. After finding a posting...

Hey y'all, I am new to the forum. I recently purchased a 2012 1500 with 60k miles. It's got the 5.7 and four wheel drive. The truck has a very noticeable lurch/vibration when rolling at low speeds in drive and reverse. It is perfectly smooth once the accelerator is applied. The truck idles...

Hey Guys, I hope you are all doing well!. I am new to the forum, living out in Dubai - UAE. I own a 2013 Dodge Ram laramie, about 47,000 KM on the clock. This is our second RAM. I just found the forum. Anyway, I was hoping to get some advise. Our ram at idle vibrates, its like as small...

Hi All, I purchased a 2015 RAM Sport Crew Cab. Great truck, but one major problem. After the truck warms up, driving to work, about a 15-20 minute drive, I notice a strong smell or fume coming from the vent when I'm idle. So every red-light, this strong smell comes into the cabin. When I...

we have a 1998 Ram 3500 turbo cummins 6 cyl diesel 24 valve duelly (if it matters) 4x4 Recently, we were driving along and it started accellerating on its own. We were at our destination so we didnt freak out right then. We waited till we were leaving. Upon startup, the truck went from...

I was driving on the freeway with my three young kids this afternoon when we had a rear tire blow-out which wrecked the rear bed panels, tore up the bodywork. Took two hours and two tow trucks (first one didn't have tools to lower the spare, second one was a flatbed) to finally be towed home...

Hey guys, I'm back and so is my truck. I posted a month ago or so about some overheating and smoking problems which turned out to be a warped head letting coolant into cyl 6 which explains the misfire code. I had the heads machined and the head gasket job done and got my truck back with one new...

I have a 2011 ram 1500 with the hemi at 108,000km's. long story short, cutting most useless details, lately I have been experiencing a really odd and uneasy feeling wobble/idle issue. when I accelerate from time to time, the truck is almost burping itself, or slightly altering the idle as if I...

Ok so I am drive and all of a sudden I have to break and slow down from 65 mph and move right onto the shoulder. The truck just dies. I get the )lighting bolt( sign on dash board. Truck will not idle at all so I use my right foot to keep the truck from dieing and use left foot to brake and...

Hello, new to the forum. I hope through this post we can narrow down my problem and also help some other along the way that might be searching for a resolution. The problem: My truck will sometimes die at idle, lets say once out 30 trips around town. It will also feel like it is going to die...

got a little truck overview done when i got my brakes fixed. found out i had a high idle(1100 RPM, they said it should be 600ish) and 1st and 2nd gear were shifting funny, or something like that. they did something to the tranny to prolong its life a bit, not sure what though, and they...

Hello, At a loss as to what is causing my problem. I recently acquired a 99 ram 1500 5.2L, and have ran into a problem that on start up the engine doesn't want to idle. I took apart the throttle body and cleaned everything, replaced the IAC and TPS but none of that fixed it. It only really...

I've had the problem ever since I bought the truck back in August, and its just been getting slightly worse and worse as time goes on. Truck is a 1998 5.9L 4x4 with just under 170,000 miles Okay, so the problem: about 2-3 minutes after I start it, the RPM's will drop down to around 500 or so...

About a week ago my check engine light came on. Went home and hooked up the code reader and the code was p0300, random misfire. So I replaced all of the lower bank plugs with news ones from the dealership. Code went away but now it's idling @ 500 instead of the normal 600 and its fluctuates...

I have recently swapped out a blown 360 in my 95 dodge ram 2500 for a 318 in good working order. The 318 is out of a 97 1500. It ran well at first, but now it is having idle problems. I am running the 318 off the old ECU from the 360. Is that causing the problem? I am getting a loud...

Hey everybody! I got a 1998 Ram Sport with a 360 about three weeks ago. Ive noticed that after the truck sits for about an hour, it will idle really rough when I start it and it will feel really down on power and it will also backfire if I give it any gas. The problem goes away after like 15...

My problem seems to be when i put the truck in park. It's got a poweraid cold air breather and throttle body spacer(came with the truck) I've replaced the map sensor and tested the tps sensor (voltages) and iac valve (mechanically it's fine). the rpm's will typically go from around 700 to 1200...
