I'd go get some seafoam and run that thru the intake first ...

To program: Hold down buttons 1 and 3 for 20 seconds (until something blinks). Then hold down the factory garage door button on the remote while holding down one of the buttons on the homelink (ie: programing that button with that garage code).

Last time my Avengeridled rough it was my TPS. Instead of changing the sensor I changed the entire throttle body with a good used one from the junkyard. It fixed the problem. I had several garages look at it and even had one garage do the induction cleaning service without any luck. So I wrote the tech editor to Mopar Action magazine and he suggested I change the TPS.

changing out the entire throttle body it could have been the IAC as well since it's part of the TB

I changed the IAC on the original TBbefore I changed the entire TB. It was easier just to change the entire TB instead ofmessing around with individual sensors on it.
