SOURCE: my 2009 dodge journey won't start, the lights bells and everything else works but all the car does when i try is click

i would check battery connections and test battery. a battery can have a bad cell and run lights but not have enough amps to spin a stater. if everything on battery is good i would suspect a bad starter

If the lights dont dim when you try to start it and you do hear a distinct click try tapping the starter with a hammer while some one is trying the key, also locate the stsrt solinoid thats the thing that should click when turning the key, check to see if when it clicks that 12 volts from ground to the bolt that holds the wire going to the starter is present

On a 2010 Dodge Journey, what would allow it to start but won't idle?

If a 2010 Dodge Journey is able to start but won't idle, there could be several potential causes, including:
  1. Dirty or clogged fuel injectors: Over time, fuel injectors can become clogged or dirty, which can affect their ability to deliver the correct amount of fuel to the engine. This can result in an engine that starts but won't idle properly.
  2. Malfunctioning idle air control valve: The idle air control valve (IAC) is responsible for regulating the amount of air that enters the engine while the vehicle is idling. If the IAC is malfunctioning, the engine may not receive enough air to maintain a steady idle.
  3. Vacuum leak: A vacuum leak occurs when air enters the engine through a crack or hole in the intake system, which can result in an unstable idle or engine stalling.
  4. Malfunctioning throttle position sensor: The throttle position sensor (TPS) is responsible for communicating the position of the throttle to the vehicle's computer, which then adjusts the amount of fuel and air delivered to the engine. If the TPS is malfunctioning, it can affect the engine's ability to idle properly.
  5. Faulty spark plugs or ignition system: If the spark plugs or ignition system are faulty, it can cause the engine to start but not idle properly.
If your Dodge Journey is experiencing this issue, it's recommended to have a professional mechanic perform a diagnostic test to determine the exact cause of the problem.

My 2001 dodge 2500 5.9 gas engine wont stay running you have to keep giving it throotle

Having to keep the throttle plat open could be 2 things (just to start). one, the air filter is clogged(like really dirty). The other is the idle air control motor is dirty or not working. Clean the throttle body and idle air control motor with brake clean. Use a toothbrush and clean inside as best as you can. It will take a second or two to start. Then spray the brake clean in the throttle at higher RPM's.

Dodge journey no bus

Vehicles with more then one module , PCM - engine control module , BCM - body control module , EBCM -anti lock brakes , SRS - air bag module etc... all communicate on a serial data communication network .
"NO BUS" means that the communication system between the computers has stopped. How to Diagnose Controller Area Network CAN If the shop can't find a problem your not going to , very complex . There have scan tools and lab scopes to test .

97 dodge ram wont idle. starts and sounds fine when you give it some gas

Pull your IAC (idle air control) motor off and give it & port it comes out of a good cleaning with carb or throttle body cleaner & try it. If it cure's it for a while but starts to do it again in future, replace it. let me know how it works.
