i have an 03 hemi 4x4 ram rc slt. a while back i had to solder the wiring back to my tps (throttle position sensor) due to damage. that is no longer an issue. every once in a while when i start the truck, it idles rough, not really bad, but noticeable. when i shift it into gear, it runs rough, but no power at all. if i shut it down and restart, the problem clears itself. this happened before and after i fixed the wiring. thx for any help.

 

Have you checked to see if it's throwing any codes?

 

how many trucks do you have that are having this problem?

 

it has never thrwn codes, i have checked it a few times, and i only have one truck.

 

does it do it more when it's hot or cool outside? after get done driving it or let it sit a couple hours or overnight? details man, it's all about the details lol

 

just one now


Is it possible that the sensor itself was damaged? Or is it possible a plug wire or something else was damaged when the sensor wires were damaged?

 

i havent noticed it more prevalent in any temp, but normally it has set a few hours, i.e. work.

 

hmmm...i'd checkthe grounds for the coilpacks....

 

also, it is possible that the sensor was damaged, but it was doing this long before i had to re-do the wiring
