I have a 99 durango we just replaced the intake manifold gaskets as the lower plate was sucking oil. Now the truck idles nice and has power but after it warms up it has a small flat spot off idle and dies when slowing down to about 10mph to stop. when cold it does not do this. Help im stumped.

 

Problem Fixed. Bad wire in engine temp sensor plug. Fixed wire plugged back in and walah runs excellent.

 

Thanks for the update and welcome to the forum!

 

How did you come to the diagnosis to figure out the repair?

I found the problem as the temp gauge was not working properly so i checked at the temp sensor and found one of the wires had come loose and pushed up into the connector so it was not making contact so the computer must have not been getting the right info as the truck warmed up.

 

You got it!

I got served?
Okay??

Seemed like a simple question with a simple answer, yet a problem that could have been a bear to diagnose. Had it been another loose sensor wire... and one not tied to a gauge, this could have been a nightmare. The gauge provided for a quick indicator and easy starting point. Not what I would consider homework. Dunno.

I though it was an honest question. With others that may have a similar problem, it is important as a forum to have the background necessary to help in the future.

Indy, I was just busting your chops. Your right it was a honest question with a detailed and resonably simple explaination and repair. With that said I need to add to my recent thread. Thanks!!!

 

LOL.

I must be PMSing. ROTFL
