I have a 4004 Dodge Durango 4.7L. At idle, it seems like the engine is misfiring or just spitting and sputtering. When I accelerate, its sputters a little and when I get to higher RPMs, it seems to be ok, but after a little bit, it sputters when at higher RPMs. Just want to get an idea before I head up to the auto parts store with the computer.

sound like you have a fuel pump going bad in the tank.

more than likely its bad sparkplug cables, same problem on f-150 they are probably shorting out somewhere in them

I agree with Krazy.... I own a 98' D. and generally keep it tuned up every 20-30k. You might also check the air filter as well. Regular service will keep your D on the road a long time.

If you have the cash, get a K&N filter for it. It will help improve your mileage slightly, and a little added acceleration never hurts. :)

Something fun:

I stage 2 chipped mine, put the K&N cold air intake kit (replaced the air box for the direct air tube), put stainless headers on, replaced the exhaust with 3" stainless high flow. I also replaced the coil, cap, and wires to MSD. The truck will still like the standard Champion plugs. All of this put my little 318 at 17MPG and over 350HP (365ish).

first you have to find what codes you have

check for cracked or broken spark plug wires also check for a cracked or broken insulator on a spark plug the best time to look for those type of problems are at night with the hood up an doing a walk around the truck. if that is the problem you will see it.

Testimonial: "that sounds good, i will try it when i get vehicle back, since the damn radiator went out on it today"
