here's the tsb.

Interesting. Along with the TPS, I will have to give this a try.

I've always noticed my Dodge ran kind of stumbly. If I'm off the brake, and not applying throttle it will jerk and shake a little.

light throttle cruise also is rough.. Acceleration is fine though. weird.

Between the trans failing, ball joints, leaky front dif, 02 sensors, crappy steering, and a few things I've forgot - this will be the last Dodge I own.

the tps normally fixes the surge, that's why the title on this thread is "another fix..." and i offered up another fix.
