Driving down the highway today i was going about 75 and the power light came on and i lost all control of throttle.. I hit the gas but nothing happened.. The truck didnt shut off but there was nothing when i hit the gas.. I had to turn my flashers on and coast to the side of the road and shut my truck off. I started it back up and it ran fine for alittle while then it happened again.. This is the 3rd time its happened. its an 04 4x4 4 door with the 5.7 hemi.. i had my 60,000 mile check up last november. I need some help from ya guys.. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

 

sounds pretty serious man I would take it in before something like breaks goes out on you

 

would a TPS do that? The ony problem with that is, i think when i TPS goes out, its gone, long gone.

 

The brakes and everything work but no response when i hit the gas.. I plan on taking it in this week but want a good idea wheat is before i take it in and the dealership trys to rip me off with something crazy..

 

similar thing happened to me in my durango. except engine shut off, and i had no power brakes and the steering wheel locked up. it was due to a bad PCM.

 

i had what sounds like the same thing happen every once in a while red lightening bolt comes on check engine all that nothing from the gas pedal, and mine would work good for a while and then after i cleaned my tb it hasnt happened since then tho i also deleted the code that came up before i cleaned it

 

Yeah the lightning bolt pops up.. Whats a TB?

 

throttle body its what the big "hemi hat" says hemi ect in your engine compartment connects to, after i did that it wasnt a problem

 

When you say nothing happens, You mean the engine doesn't even rev? Because if the engine responded but nothing else, its a driveline issue.

 

No the engine wont rev or anything.
