Hello

My 2000 koda 4.7 has been acting strange lately. It will be running fine, then all the sudden it will start idling low and will die and will continue to die after starting it back up if I don't keep my foot on the gas. (and sometimes I'll be in the middle of going somewhere and will have to drive like that...at a stoplight...one foot on brake, one foot on the gas to keep the rpm's up so it won't die etc) Then a few minutes later it's just fine.

Has a new battery, air filter, sparkplugs, clean throttle body...and it has been doing it before and after these things.

Anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on?

Nobody?

Sounds like it might be a bad IAC Idle Air Control valve. I will move this to the 2nd Generation Dakota Sub-Forum, where it will get more responses.

clean the iac and get back to us.

or get the fuel injectors blown

vacuum leak

I Would think a vaccume leak be a little more constant? Is it not throwing any codes or anything?

Do you hear any wistling? Thats a dead give away if you have a decent vacuum leak.

But yeah what about CEL's?

TPS bad?
