In my 02 Durango 4.7 v8 I replaced ignition coils, filters, hoses, battery & plugs the truck had misfires and started dying. What can I do to see if it's the catalytic converter or vacuum leak?

Asked by Sheila Sep 17, 2015 at 11:19 AM about the 2002 Dodge Durango SLT RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

It dies when you let off the gas. It has to be
jumped every time it dies. Even with a new
battery and terminals. It sounds bad when it
runs like an exhaust problem. I swapped
out relays to see if it helped but can't figure
it out.

I have a '98 Dodge Durango that sounds like it is running out of gas. It spits and sputters and dies. Pushing in the gas pedal to rev the engine does not help. Durango eventually dies. I have had the fuel pump replaced and am leaning now towards maybe the throttle sensor or even the computer module. Any thoughts? 5 Answers

I have a 2004 Dodge Durango. While driving, I lost all power to the wheels, yet all electrical and engine seemed to be operating. Pulled over, and it would not move , regardless of what gear I put it in ( N, R, D, 1, 2 ) My first guess is the transmission went out, but could there be a sensor or other cause for this. When I accelerate, I hear the engine, but still have no movement in any gear. 8 Answers
