2003 5.9L cold hesitation

Apr 29, 2005 2 Replies

I have a 03 Durango with 19000 miles about a month ago it started hesitating and backfiring when cold. dealer first said it did not exist now says my valves had carbon on them. The dealer cleaned them but it is still having the same issue. the dealer says they have many of these and I think I am getting the run around with the valve decarbonizing at



19000 miles. is anyone else having the problem. no computer codes

It sounds like the dealer just bent you over the fender on that one, imagine that. Did you take it to the dealer where Brent works?

Sounds like an engine temp sensor telling the computer that the engine is warm when it isn't.
