Tinkerr 11-06-2007, 08:07 AM I have a freind that asked for help with a problem Dodge that I have no clue about. His 2000 6 litre needs to warm up for a long period or it has no power or change in rpm with pedal position change. From what I'm told it is happening now even after it warms up. ? ? any ideas of common issues here? woodchuck2 11-06-2007, 08:39 AM He should put a scan tool on it and check his throttle position sensor.

Cycle the key on-off-on-off-on-off-on and any engine codes will display in the odometer. Beware of the "0216" code. Any hard starting or white smoke at startup? This sounds like a possible VP44 (injection pump)failure. There is a way to reset the throttle position sensor (Dodge calls it Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor, or APPS) its worth a try. Log on to www.dieseltruckresource.com for the procedure... its easy.

That's usually the death march for the Vp44 (Inj. pump) I'd get it scanned. You can try the key trick, off/on 3 times to see if any codes pop up, but that doesn't always show the codes. My 02 had a bad Vp and no codes flashed with the hey trick. I believe auto-zone, chiefs, kragens etc... will scan it for free. | ||
