98 durango idle issue
#12
no indy as i said it was much worse BEFORE the new battery now it only does it after being driven for about 2-3 miles. just for clarification i can start it go a few blocks, for instance to pick up a friend, and itl idle with my foot off the gas while i wait for them to come out. before i had to pump the gas pedal to start it and keep it idled at 1k or it would quit.
as for last time it was tuned up...i have no clue, ive had it for maby 3 months, a friend sold it to me for like 1500 bucks and i knew it needed work, she cant keep a car running for the life of her so i doubt its had anything in the 2 years shes owned it, ill have to ask.

Alright so i got in thismorning and drove to the local coffe shop. i was waiting in the drive through and got lazy so i took my foot off the gas. and guess what...ITS FINE figuring it was a fluke i went for a bit of a drive and ran some other errands. it seems that it needed nothing but time to adjust. i am however going to do everyones suggestions just because it can use it. thanks for all the help, ill be back when i need help fixing the gass leak...these things are just one thing after another arent they.

Ive heard some horror stories but i doubt they could be as bad as my old nightmare of a jeep grand cherokee. i couldnt keep electricity in that thing to save my life, and the gengine was two things after another. add to that that im 6'5" and mostly legs making it so i dont fit in the damn thing and psychostick's song two ton paperweight comes to mind
two ton paperweight(WARNING! EXPLICIT)
EDIT:it appears bbcode doesnt work the way it normally does but this song describes that and all of my cars so well and is just such a great song that im sure we could all relate to at some point or another that i decided to leave it
your right and i know this thing needs some good tlc but i know people who own them and take good care of them and have constant problems and i also know people who take lousy care of them and they work great, not to mention my uncle who is BEYOND **** retentive about maintaining his vehicles has more problems than i do and has a 99 with a step bigger engine. it seems problems are lesser or worse from vehicle to vehicle in this particular model. im just glad i have one in the middle...
