Most likely none are related to the computer. Surging idle is often a sign of a vacuum leak and can cause random misfires. Vacuum leak would also cause hesitation. Sensor heater can be a fuse, wiring or bad sensor. What's the window doing?

SOURCE: My van seems to be having random multiple misfires

First,investigate the warranty,as there is no need for you to be spending money out of your pocket if the warranty covers such items.As far as the misfires,they can be caused by items a little more in depth,although the spark plugs are the first items to check and replace.The spark plug wires can also cause misfires,as well as coil or coils,and injectors being dirty and partially plugged up.If your engine utilizes spark plug wires,replace them,as they will leak voltage when old,and cause misfires.Anything beyond that will require more diagnostics.Every diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has a diagnostic route as prescribed by the manufacturer.These diagnostic routes are available through pay sources such as All Data online.If the simple things like plugs and wires doesnt fix the problem,then diagnostics are in order.Good luck.

SOURCE: 99 5.2 durango :pulled codes for multipe missfire cylinder #5-7

Aloha We have just replaced all of what you have replaced, plus water pump, fuel pump, pcv valve and 02 sensor. Took it to mechanic today we had misfire on 1,2,6,7. Mechanic said that the 99 dodge is known for bad computers, he checked ours and works great turns out that it was the coil. Ours was jumping 1/4 inch and had a orange/yellow spark. it is supposed to have a 1 inch spark and be blue. This has solved our problems after 527 dollars later.
Check the coil!

SOURCE: check engine light comes on and car idle's and

I found this; if it helps.
The injectors need to be cleaned, if an engine is experiencing any of the classic symptoms of dirty injectors, such as lean misfire, rough idle, hesitation and stumbling on light acceleration, a loss of power, and higher hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions.
Lean misfire may also trigger a misfire code and turn on the Check Engine light on 1996 and newer vehicles with OBD II systems. The code often will be a P0300 random misfire code, or you may find one or more misfire codes for individual cylinders, depending on which injectors are most affected.

Hope this helps

SOURCE: my 2001 3.9 dakota have a misfire condition at cold

My 2001 Dakota now works fine, I took it to a good reliable shop after much frustration. The problem was the crank position sensor in combination with an bad oxygen sensor. This was a very unusual problem with no consistency therefore hard to diagnose. Crank sensor $190.00 cdn oxygen sensor $130.00 cdn $300.00 in troubshooting, repair and diagnostics. Repaired by Gerald at AutoPro in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. Thanks Gerald

Misfiring

code p0303 refers to cyl 3 misfire detected ===causes engine mechanical fault--wiring--ignition/fuel system--injector--ECT/MAF sensor--ECM
code p0316 refers to misfire detected during start up --first 1000 revs===causes --engine mechanical fault--wiring--ignition/furl system--injector
the common fault cause is ignition/ fuel system and injectors so I would be checking fuel pressure and injector systems for clean and wiring connections are good especially on no 3 injector.

2001 jimmy..engine starts and runs for 6sec then shuts off,starts again and shuts off I can rev engine but after 6sec it shuts off...I have changed coil and I am going to change knock sensor.what do you...

Huh??? Why change the Knock Sensor? The Knock Sensor is not going to cause your engine to shut down. Sounds like a Cam Sensor or MAP Sensor problem to me. Is the computer setting any codes?

Sometimes you can diagnose a messed-up MAP sensor by unplugging it and starting the engine. If the MAP is causing your problem, it will start and run. (It won't run very good, but it should idle OK)

If you have a 4.3L engine, I have seen Cam Sensors cause a start and stall condition. (part of the distributor assembly)

2001 silverado - My engine knocks for a few

You may have a bad intake manifold gasket, which is leaking the antifreeze in to your engine. Note" Antifreeze is corrosive to the engine bearings" and the knocking your getting from the engine may be worn connecting rod bearing and the pistons are knocking till it warms up and expands to take up the space the worn bearings created. Replace the faulty gasket, change the engine oil and filter as much as possible to till you address the leak and add Restor engine treatment and Lucas oil treatment for now. This may stop or slow the knocking for now, but your going to have to tear the bottom end down and replace the crankshaft and connecting rod bearings if the knock has not gone away. As the weather starts to get colder, your going to have to warm up the engine before you start to drive, getting hard on the engine while it's still cold may cause the bearing to slip and then your looking at a bigger and more expensive job. Good luck and keep me posted.

Horrible misfire and knock

0300 is a mis fire. Explains the fried wire. Were all the plugs changed?? If not, definately change the one on the fried wire. Possible burnt cylinder. Does it fire/start right away cold?? If not, it could be the coil. Start by checking spark in all your wires and plugs. This will isolate your issue hopefully.
