P303 p0171 p2096
I received code P303 after washing my Durango yesterday. This has happened before when it rains or I wash it. I swaped the #3 ignition coil with the #1 coil to see if that was the problem. Code went away. This morning I received code P2096. I replaced the bad ignition coil and then received P0171 and P2096. Durango is still vibrating hard, loss of power at acceleration and low rpms at idle. All sparkplugs have been changed, put in fuel injector cleaner, and the MAF was just cleaned a couple months ago (although I haven't checked it since). Usually I would get a P303 and P304 when wet and they went away after "drying out". I'm at a loss. Help?

Thank you. I've found tons of useful information on here.
So the only reason I was not thinking O2 sensors, is that they generally throw their own codes when not working properly. I would think that it was pretty coincidental that it went out right when I had the other problem. I'm still tinkering right now. Checking hoses and lines and all...unfortunately I do not have the ability to test the O2 sensor and would have to take it in to my mechanic, or just buy them and see what happens..

I have approx 101k. I switched the new coil back to #3 and pulled P0303, P2308, and P2302. So this is what I did tonight...
1. replaced 1 spark plug on #1
2. replaced 1 spark plug on #3
#1 plug had very little carbon buildup on the edge, not near the electrode, actually looked ok.
#3 plug had wet fuel on it
Turned the her back on and I can no longer pull any codes. Still misfiring, sluggish on acceleration and vibration around 1700rpms. Same as before. No change except that now there is no codes. Will see if I can get a code to pull tomorrow. Thinking I should change all the ignition coils on bank 1. Its past time to do it anyway. That and the wires. Could I just need to have the fuel injectors cleaned?
