I have 2000 Durango that I've learned to love, and I don't want to part with..when I got it . It had many problems with stalling etc..so I changet the crank sensor,tp sensor, starter, and finally changed the ecm or computer.which helper greatlyit stopped almost completely..but I still had a problem with idling low, and SOMETIMES stalling at red lights etc..now the weather changed, its a little cooler out...MY truck runs great! haven't stalled once, and the idle is a constant 6000rpm..my question is when it gets warm again, will I come across this nightmare of low idle / stalling again?..i had 3 code come up 1281,1032,1038.I changed My thermostat, and both 02 sensors .but I still have my p0132.code...anyone know why this would be...im more afraid of the truck going back to running low idle(bouncing)while I'm in traffic etc...any help for my babbling??thanks any help would be appreciated

 

I hope you meant 600rpm

stalling as you are describing is usually because of a bad battery or battery terminals. check the terminals and wires and clean any corrosion off of them. Also have your battery load tested. if there is bad contact between the battery and the terminals, or if the battery is bad, it will cause stalling problems

 

+1 that_guy

 

I never thought about the battery,I did just replace it, but my terminals nuts are so stripped, they just slide on and off the battery,I I'm not a mechanic, so I figured that as long as they are connected, and start the truck.....im ok...no?

 

thats probably your problem, replace your terminals so that you can tighten them down good

 

the terminals need to be tight, get good bolts and tighten them up

 

If you cant afford new terminals right now a quick inexpensive fix is to get small hose clamps and wrap them around the terminals. I had to do that for mine it works well till you can get the new terminals.

 

I have purchased the brass bolt on terminal ends for like $2 bucks a piece and all you do is cut off the old end, strip the wire about 1/2", and bolt the new one on.

 

I did the same thing when I had problems with my battery and terminals, haven't had a problem since
