2002 dodge durango shuts off after driving, can turn on a minute later

My info shows this. After you disconnect negative battery cable it says to wait two minutes. The instructions are worried about the air bay, that's why the two minute wait.

Leave it in drive when you shut it down and then put it in park

The brake and abs light come on if a problem is detected. When the abs light is on the abs is NOT working. You need to pull the codes from the ecm to detect the problem

I once owned a Dodge Dakota that had a loose ground wire on the firewall. I remember it was on the driver side not far from brake booster. Gave me fits until I found it. Good luck.

Sounds like your fuel pump is going out. Next time it doesn't start, cycle the key from off to run position (not start) and listen for the soft hum of fuel pump. If it's not there, you need a new pump.

Sounds like you might have a failing TPS or Throttle Position Sensor.

The part attaches to the throttle body with three torx screws.

Before that, try battery disconnect reset by unhooking the negative battery cable and depressing the brake pedal for a minute or so.

Reconnect and fire it up to see if idle is still high.

clean the throttle body

disconnect the battery for a few minutes. could have been just a control module locked up. (modules in cars can freeze just like pc's)

try haviing your alternator checked advance auto parts can check it while its on the car and the can check the battery too. if thats not it it may stall due to a loose battery connection or a loose ground strap. if it stalls and everything turns of (electrical) it may be a connection or ground strap.

throtle positioning sensor happened to our hope this helps
