Replying to: fedup15 (Feb 07, 2008 5:01 am) I'm having a similar issue with my 02 Durango. While it was having the issue I had it on a scope reading the throttle position. The results showed the throttle position sensor was giving a false reading to the computer. This also affected the transmission (irratic shifting between 2nd 3rd & overdrive a steady 35 MPH)Tomorrow I am having the Throttle Position Sensor replaced and the fuel injectors cleaned. I will let you know the results. My durango did throw a check engine code, but it did not reveal the problem with the TPS. Replies to this message: tlawrence80 (Mar 17, 2008 8:57 am)
#20 of 28 2002 Durango Heater by tlawrence80 Mar 17, 2008 (8:56 am)
My heater stopped working last night. The fan will not turn on, I checked the fuse in the dash and it is fine. Any suggestions? Replies to this message: whatsupnow (Mar 20, 2008 6:09 pm)

Replying to: tlawrence80 (Mar 17, 2008 8:56 am) The blower motor is relatively easy to remove (under / behind the glove compartment) I think it has just 3 screws (8mm?) (the rear screw is a little difficult to get to) If you remove the screws the motor comes straight down. It may have something stuck in the blades or while you have it out get it tested at any local auto parts store or auto-electric supplier. Hope this helps!   By the way, my TPS was the problem and has been perfect since replacement. The fuel injector service did not help fuel milage

Replying to: rainah (Nov 26, 2007 3:38 pm) check the transmission fluid level, ur torque converter may not be locking.

Replying to: meeshelle06 (Apr 05, 2008 10:29 am) Not a big deal to replace the TBS. I prefer going to private shops you trust (ask friends who they use) rather than the dealerships. Then you can talk with the person actually doing the work rather than a service manager.
#27 of 28 2002 Durango Idleing Up And Down by poopsiega Jul 02, 2008 (8:59 am)
I am having this same issue with my 2002 Durango. I doesn't seem to be as bad when the engine heats up. But the Check Engine light is constantly on. When I put the car in park it idles up and down like I'm pressing the excelerator. Sometimes I can quickly press the excelerator and let off and it will come back down to a normal idle. has anyone answered on how to fix this yet? I am very mechanically challenged but would like to repair this myself. Since gas is $4 a gallon I would like to save money on repairs if possible.

I drive a 2000 Durango 5.9L with 92,000 miles on it. Best vehicle I've ever owned. Recently I took a trip to the mountains in Colorado. As soon as I got up to about 6,000 ft, the engine started surging and it wanted to downshift. The check engine lite came on. When I returned to a lower altitude, after a while the lite went out and the performance improved somewhat. It still surged somewhat and continued to do so occasionally even after returning home to Illinois. Any thoughts please. Jim347
