'03 Hemi's don't have an EGR, so there is no recirculated crap getting dumped right behind the throttle body plate, HUGE DIFFERENCE... I've seen an '03 1500 never had the TB cleaned at 90k miles and it's spotless compared to mine at 15k miles...

Stupid emissions crap!!!

Thanks for the info! I took the TB completely off tonight and it was very dirty on the back side. I cleaned to look like new. Put it back on and went for a drive…problem still thereL any other Ideas?

A couple things I forgot to mention on the first thread, I have a code reader and it is not actively showing any codes. It seems to act much better when the truck is warm and or it is above 40 degrees or so outside. It seems a lot like what it was doing when the ERG valve went bad the first time, but much worse? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!

Are you familiar with the additive "Sea Foam"?

For the "sea foam", no. I am going to check into it and give it a try, Thanks!
