you know, thats a very good point
have you tried to recalibrate the throttle by the slowly pushing the pedal trick in thing?
i know it probably wouldnt do anything, but couldnt hurt to try

Yeah I gave the Pedal Dance and chance, and it is a no go. I just called my Local dodge, and they said 79.95 plus tax for a diagnostic, since I am no longer under warranty. At least then, I could find out what is wrong.
Lets just pray and hope the dealership does not come to me with an outrageous claim...

Car is still sitting at Dodge. I am about to call them to see what is going on.
EDIT: Just called Dodge, and they said, they have been on it for about 2 hours, and are unsure of what is going on. They said they will call me when they figure it out.
What a way to make me worried...

Only 79.99 for a diagnostic charge? When i put my srt rims on, and the tmps light started flashing(due to a bad sensor) i called them before i knew what the problem was, and asked if it would be something thats covered under warranty, because they are technically factory rims.
They told me that if it is the car causing the fault, then it would be covered, but if it was a sensor, it would be a 110 dollar diag. fee.
I told them(literally) to eat **** and id figure it out on my own.
Obviously, you are in a bit of a different position, but still pisses me off that your dealer is cheaper :rofl:
Anywho, keep up updated man, i want to know whats going on with the car:beerchug:

Well, I just got the car back, and the car seems completely fine!
I am going to type what the dealership service paper says...
So for those of you who have this problem happen, give your Throttle body a good cleaning and hopefully that cures your problem!

So needless to say, they said there was major binding and there was a lot of buildup in the throttle body. Carbon and Oil based sludge. I am more than guessing it is due to the K&N Air Filter. I am thinking of going back to stock filter, and waiting until I get a real CAI or something.MELLOY DODGE SERVICE said:

Its funny, the only time i had the problem with the idle dropping was with my k&n filter on. When i took it off to clean it, and put the stock airbox back, my idle was fine. After i cleaned the filter and put it back on, it kept getting worse, so i took it off..
Good to know man...

Think about what you just typed from the service paper....
1. How does oil and carbon get into the throttle body?
2. Are you driving through an oil sludge field everyday on the way to work?
3. Did you see oil deposits on the K&N Filter?
1. You should have answered PCV System... Positive Crankcase Ventilation.
2. You should have answered NO.

Well the problem has returned and the car is doing the same thing. Seems Dodge, didnt fix a damn thing. I haven't the money or time to **** with this thing anymore. Everyday this car comes with a new problem, and frankly I am tired of it.
Not to sound like an arse or anything, but technically, it's the same problem :jester:

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that if your throttle body was really that dirty then It might have striped the plastic gears out of the throttle body servo....

Then take it back in to the same Dealer and tell them you don't want it back until it's fixed.

Well we dropped the CSRT4 off this morning and it turns out the Throttle Body has failed and they are going to charge me 100 bucks to replace the unit, and get it installed.
Hopefully this takes care of everything, but i wont see my car until late tomorrow or early friday.

Just got another call from dodge and they managed to get the TB in stock, and they installed it, just to find out that the PCM is fried.
They are covering the PCM for me, but i have to wait until next week. They said it was an 800 pcm, and i told them to get the S1 for cheaper for me, and the guy said it has to be stock in order to replace it.
