Yo Tony what's up man thanks for the vid but I'm not sure this is my problem any how..... Got a 02 Durango 4×4 4.7l don't know if this matters but my exhaust broke off at the muffler the only thing that's happing to SUV so far don't know if this could be my problem so just letting ya know so what's going on is when I start the truck at cold start of warm sometimes it just cracks until I pump or hold the gas pedal 2nd rpms run steady at little under 1k rpm but when I hit the gas it keeps like putting or hesitation unless I get back on the gas from 0 to 40 now once I hit 50 it hesitates bad unless I let off and hammer back on it no check engine light on what ya think buddy only 99000 miles on it please let me know thanks happy holidays..., sorry for the book lol

[@Spontaneous2day]

Thanks for the video - since I was in the neighborhood I replaced the throttle position sensor at the same time. Both of these parts are fairly cheap so may as well do them both at the same time . . . at least in my opinion. The IAC wasa indeed stuck and was giving me a hard time releasing. Since I was replacing it anyway and wasn't worried about damage I grabbed it with a big Channel Lock Plier and was able to wiggle it out easily and I actually did no damage at all. I took your advice and coated both o'rings with dielectric grease and it popped right in with zero effort. Thanks for the video! 👍

[@justsayevans1954]

I too felt like it was the transmission until I changed the valve. Now it runs great, I also changed the spark plugs, Throttle Position Sensor, only to find out one of the cables to the connection to the Air Intake Temperature sensor was broken. Im glad I changed all those things though.

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Great! It’s amazing how this can be such an easy fix yet cause so many problems...I also recently discovered water was damaging the tps sensor too...I bet I’ve replaced it 5 times already

[@Anastasia-rz5yb]

That’s what my ram 1500 is doing rn gonna change it out tomorrow and hopefully it works

[@jasonp364]

Thanks for the video. At first thought it was the throttle position sensor since I replaced that before and it gives similar symptoms. Funny these two sensors are next to each other but never dawned on me. Couple extra tips: a “very thin” coat of vasoline would work for the O rings if you don’t have the grease. A shot of PB blast or wd 40 on hex screw threads prior to unscrewing helps keep from stripping. I used 12 inch channel locks fully expanded to pop new sensor in place if you lack the strength. - 05 Durango 4.7 L 266k miles

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

You are right, both sensors give similar symptoms when going bad. Luckily for me, if you want to call it luck, the TPS caused way more erratic issues than the IAC. Which led to faster troubleshooting in my case.

2006 Durango 4.7, the screw is stripped on the iac valve, is there any way of removing the screw without having to remove the throttle body?? Also what is a good replacement screw???

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

You could try a reverse drill bit or an extraction tool. Ryobi makes a 5 bit kit that is cheap. You drill a little hole and then use the reverse spiral bit to back the screw out. I believe this can be done without removing the throttle body, but you will need to protect the area and openings from metal shavings. As far as replacements go...you will need to shop around. I hope this helps and please let me know the outcome.

[@leospendragon]

Hi ... I saw your video and did exactly the same thing you did when replacing the IAC valve with a new one. But now in idle it only destabilizes a little when I press the accelerator above 1000 revolutions, which, when leaving in the "park" gear, the revolutions of the unstable idle do not exceed a thousand revolutions, but do not go below of the five hundred. Sometimes the engine dies when I quickly slow down to come to a halt, but it restarts smoothly and the idle stabilizes. Do you think there is a problem with the valve itself, or was it supposed to lubricate the stem as is often done in sedans?

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Are you getting any trouble codes? Could be a throttle position sensor or a vacuum leak somewhere

[@jackrussell680]

2000 darango 4.7 won't run unless I take 1 vacuum cap off side of throttle. Any suggestions

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Jack russell that is interesting. I’m assuming that the “vacuum cap” is normally closed off? If so it tells me something is preventing the proper amount of air from getting to the engine. And the removal of the cap is the only way it gets there. I would start with the cheaper diagnostics like throughly cleaning the throttle body (making sure no buildup is causing an air stoppage) and checking vacuum lines to make sure they are clear. Let me know if you get it diagnosed.

[@colassolorzano6353]

Jack russell what was the problem. ? I have the same. Problem unless i remove rhe vacuum cap.

[@emsvision]

What about in a 2011 Dakota? The throttle body looks totally different. I can’t find any information on the iac for this year.

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

More than likely, your setup has an “electronic throttle control” which means no idle air control valve. Newer vehicles have gone to drive by wire (no physical rods or cables, but electronics sending voltages to different sensors to control everything). This changes the way we diagnose and repair many problems. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with this setup..

carrie coleman it should be a pretty tight fit. Just make sure there is not anything obstructing either end of the connector. Also if you took off both connectors (one for the IAC and the one for the throttle position sensor) make sure you are putting the right one in the right spot.

[@KozmikEl7]

Hey what can I do if I changed this part already and ran good for a few days then came back doing the same thing!? Is it possible the part is faulty?

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

It is possible that the part is bad. One thing about these vehicles is the ability of rain water from the windshield cowl going bad to really affect them. Check to see if water is getting to the tps and the iac (they sit right there together)... I’ve had to replace the throttle position sensor (tps) multiple times because of water and it can cause similar symptoms

Jared August, it takes air, fuel, and spark to make a cylinder fire correctly. I would start by checking my coil pack first. You could swap a known good cylinder with the number 2. If the problem moves you have your culprit. If it doesn’t help, it could be dirty or malfunctioning injector. Again, to troubleshoot you could swap the injectors to see if the problem moves.

[@TonyCollumtheHOWTOHERO]

Arnold W McDonald thanks for the question. There are really any number of problems and without being able to properly diagnose the problem it is almost impossible to figure out. Remember it takes fuel, air, and a spark to make the engine run. It sounds like one of these is being cut out prematurely. Run a fuel pressure test, make sure your air filter and throttle body are clean, and make sure your spark is strong at each coil pack/spark plug. These are just a few simple things you can do and simple is the best place to start. Good luck with your project.
