Thank you for that info.

it started like this for me. a month ago driving down the road. come to a light. turns green put my foot on the accelerator and around 35 mph she starts hesitating, shaking and not wanting to accelerate almost lock up. the idling at standstill was very hard.

took her home. she would then not restart...tried a few mins later she kind of started and then would not. we had the battery and all that checked. all was good. went to take her to the shop on monday morning and she would not turn over again. so we towed her to the shop. when she got to the shop she started. was taken down the street for a drive and mechanic experienced the same reaction i did stated earlier.

so they fixed ...lol

spark plugs, distributer cap, rotor, beldin wires and the catalitic converter( was told the plugs to it were damaged).

when i picked her up she did accerate at higher speeds the way I know and like my durango to drive, so i called. and then got her on the hwy at took her up to 70 mph to see how her speed was. the check engine light flickered on for a few and then the my dodge was driving the way i know her to drive.

i took her back to the shop to get the check engine light looked at and on the way back to the shop the idle again after driving her a few miles was really hard again.

so they tell me now that the code led them to a misfire issue. i was told that my vehicle is misfiring on one cylinder and it is not the same one all the time.they were giving up. they did not want to suggest any more things wrong and cost me more money if that will not end up ficing up.so now im taking her to dodge on monday to get her looked at.

and that was when i was coming home and my husbands friend suggested the turn on 3x to get the code.

so after anyone reading this...any input or thoughts would be helpful. appreciate your time.

IAC been replaced?


What's the code coming up?

 

I did not get the exact code. he said that when they ran the code said it was leading them to a misfire.

when i came home and manually did the code myself all i got was P done.

What is IAC?

 

Idle Air Control


P Done just means it's completed. Maybe next time it is on, try it and you might catch it.

 

sounds like a crankshaft position sensor. that would also cause multiplecylindermisfires.

 

I second the crankshaft position sensor.

Also something to look at is the fuel rail. Rust has been known to flow back and forth between injectors, and screwing up flow.

Also you could do a fuel pressure check. I beleave it is to be about 53 LBS.
I would definatlly check the fuel pump.

 

how much does a crank shaft sensor cost for repair?

I really appreciate the information. it is nice to have some good opinions to go on.

I will let you know what they report...lol.

Thank you again
