Install new module, battery stays up over night. It'll run above 2k and drive but it doesn't idle or can't idle in gear without dying. Since the battery has a 2yr warranty they'll replace it. I called the place I got gas from to ask if they have heard any complaints about the gas in the time period i bought it and they said no. I had a condition where the car would die when cold going from R to D.
I got the car for relatively low cost and am worried if I end up having to throw a lot of money at it that it may not be worth it in the long run. I get a reader and get a P0300 and a P0303 code. Fool's errand this time so no real benefit gained. Now it is just giving me a P0300 code but still running about the same as before. This journey is taking me on a sad journey right now trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with it. I don't drive it hard at all and its had a good life for the 20k miles it's been mine.
I have 95K miles on my 09 and never added anything. Old plugs seemed worn as much as 90k plugs should nothing super alarming about them. Would do it once then not again till the next time it got cold 10+hours of sitting. I throw plugs and new coil packs in the car, might I say what a job to remove that upper intake. I tried adding sea foam and heet to the gas tank to see if it was a water issue but that didn't help. I was so frustrated I have just parked the car and am deciding on the next steps.
Recently, it started running a little rough. It'll run above 2k and drive but it doesn't idle or can't idle in gear without dying. Kind of like when you know you need to change your oil, so just rough to the trained ear of the person who has driven the car for a long time. The module was defective in that it didn't always work, there was some error code related to it. I'm kind of at a loss what to do next.
If anyone hasr definite conclusion what's killing batteries. I'm not totally convinced this is the end. I don't drive it hard at all and its had a good life for the 20k miles it's been mine. Again, ask to find out what's draining it. Say it's original 5yr battery and sell me a new one. Yes I do have paperwork on what's covered, it's a long list of what they wont cover if. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
I ask them to find out what's killing my battery. Change every 5K miles with synthetic. Air filter is in ok shape as well. Right now I'm just getting a P0300 without any specific cylinder being listed on an additional code. Not idling at all and real rough when i have to restart it because it died while idling. Thanks for the positive outlook! Air filter is in ok shape as well. It makes me think maybe it's not bad gas.
At first carmax didnt want to deal with it they seemed nicely pushy to say dodge might cover this, no they wont, the service advisors here are just really overpaid middle man. I didn't drive it for 2 days, started it in the morning and the lights interior and headlights went off with the starter draw. Dealer replaced the intake manifold because some kinda internal valve was screwing up. For the most part it's otherwise working. I added some oil additive and couldn't really discern if it was better but wasn't any worse. Start it next morning and it is running like a sick dog. I'm assuming I got a bad tank of gas and it fouled the plugs.
I've been reading up on the cylinder head issue on these but it seems like that'd be giving a misfire on 2,4, or 6 and shouldn't really impact 2013 models? Start it next morning and it is running like a sick dog. Never really heard of a ruff idle when you need an oil change but what do I know. Change every 5K miles with synthetic. I called the place I got gas from to ask if they have heard any complaints about the gas in the time period i bought it and they said no. I did wonder if I could just not have a hands free module, would it impact the system. So I appreciate any insight from your experiences with this engine. Right now I'm just getting a P0300 without any specific cylinder being listed on an additional code.
Recently, it started running a little rough. So I appreciate any insight from your experiences with this engine. Everything is covered under warranty except that clean combination. I ask if they can really, really try to find out what's wrong. I'm kind of at a loss what to do next. It makes me think maybe it's not bad gas. I added some oil additive and couldn't really discern if it was better but wasn't any worse.
