Hi I have a 2003 dodge van with a 5.2 liter engine
I was pulling into a parking lot and my van quit running, I coasted into the parking lot and got it started and running just enough to pull to the side, it ran like it was running on one cylinder very rough no power at all. Then I could not start it again.
I replaced the IAC valve, coil disturber, plugs, cables, TPS, I checked the MAP sensor, I was getting .7 oms reading on the two outer pins and 42.3 ohms from the center pin to either side, and still when I press on the gas it surges then revs up. Heres a video of it running
When i press on the gas peddle the valves in the throttle body open but the reves go down. I did a vacuum test to didn't seem to find anything, i also disconnected the battery for 20 min then hooked it back up and tried many times always the same result, can anyone shed some light on this problem

While waiting for the tow truck I put my phone on charge and realized both cigarette lighters had no power, I dont know if it related or not, I just thought i would mention it

 

Some serious ticking going on there.....

Is the check engine lite on?

 

There was a flashing engine light, its off now cleared by AAA but they could not fix the problem, originally the coil went bad. I removed the valve covers and turned the engine over to see if all the rockers were working and they seemed to be ok.
Yeah it is a loud ticking for sure, any ideas?

 

Flashing check engine lite indicates a misfire on one, or more... cylinders. How is the cap/rotor/wires/plugs? What plugs are in it?

 

You aint kidding! Does it have oil pressure? I would check to see what the fuel pressure is, could also be the tps.

 

All new plugs wires rotor cap etc, not sure what plugs, they were put in by AAA Yes it has oil pressure

 

Theres only 54000 miles on this thing, I really shouldn't have these issues.

 

Pull one of the plugs, and see what it is, these truck don't like the rare-earth fellers.

Do you have a scanner that can read live data?

 

The plugs are Autolite app 5224 the gap looked a little big I measured it at .054"
Thoughts?

 

What's it supposed to be? Should be a sticker under the hood that tells ya.
