my truck will run great for maybe 2 months and then it runs real sluggish. I have figured out that if i unhook battery and do a hard reset, the truck runs like new again! no codes, full tune up, no pinging, oil change every 3,000 and just switched over to synthetic.
Also, it sucks a lot of air through the IAC sensor when it's cold. It takes at least 15 minutes of driving till it warms up until the idle is normal. I had to replace it awhile back but i didn't get a mopar sensor. Stupid move, i know! Money was an issue at the time, still is! but i think this sensor is the culprit and for some reason resetting the computer brings it back around but only for a little while then it's like the stupid thing forgets what it learned! I hope it's not the ECM, that's what controls the sensors anyways. what do you guys think?
