first which engine do you have, and which trans if you know it, and is it 4x4 or 4x4 (you would be surprised the little differences that all this makes)

and now from what i know i would say look at the TPS and the IAC and clean the throttle body

Vacuum leak. Look on the brake booster and there is a black valve on the passenger side of the master cylinder that is a check valve which is the most likely issue. Dealer item.

Sorry shrpshtr325...

I forgot the details, This is 98 Durango 4x4 with a 5.2 engine, don't know about the trans.

Thanks for any help...
