multiple problems with the 3rd gen ram 1500 4.7
I have a 2003 1500 with the 4.7 in it.
I had the comp flashed at a dealer and about 2 weeks later it started to idle very high and gave a code saying that the idle air control valve is bad. I have tried replacing it with 6 different ones and no luck. the guys at my parts house put the diagnostic on it and it shows that my throttle is at 11% while sitting in park. So we replaced the throttle position sensor. tried 3 of them, none made a change.
as a side note I also have had to replace the cylinder 5 coil pack 2 times since the dealer flashed the comp.
I am ready to pour fuel on it and lite the match.
CAN ANYONE HELP??????

This is the process I was referring to...
1) Insert ignition key and turn to "ON" (not start).
2) Wait for all idiot lights to go out. Check Engine Light may remain on.
3) Slowly depress the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor.
4) Slowly release the accelerator pedal until it's all the way back up.
5) Turn the ignition key to "OFF".
6) Start the engine.

I have almost the same truck. I took the TPS off and drilled out the bushings in the bolt holes so I could "clock" it. I back probed the TPS with a volt meter to make sure it was working correctly. The reason I did it was to make sure off idle response was quick and that it was truely maxed out at WOT. Kind of sounds like the computer is bad.
