I have a 2005 4.7 v8 also and mines stalls out when im slowing down...acts like it wants to cut off at red lights and kinda sputters...when it goes off the radio and everything is still working...i just bought this sensor today u think this might be the problem?
Did replacing the Throttle position sensor fix the original problem of it dying on you? My son-in-laws 04 1500 is doing the same thing and got a P0068 and P0300 misfire code.
what motor is yours? i got a durango 4.7 and getting code p0340 and its been randomly not starting, then 10 min later i try starting it again and it starts. then goes days without a prob then does it again. well today i think it finally gave out after a hour n half of tryin to get it to start i left it at work n got a ride. i believe i found it on pass side of my 4.7, but i wanted to know if u can get at it by just getting underneath or do u have to take a tire off or anything else off?
On the 2004 5.7 the sensor release clip is slightly tricky. It has a red/orange tab that has to be pushed sideway as it locks the sensor - pushing the thin side from right to left looking in the plug hole. Then depress the back and it comes off. Reverse needed fit sensor push clip left to right. Hope this helps. 10mm socket worked for me and truck running sweet as.
It's a bitch to replace you can't see what you are doing, it's all by feeling. You can't get to it underneath because the exhaust is in the way. Also good luck getting it back into position without the rubber boot falling into the hole........ I said every swear word in the book, and I do know how to work on cars a little bit.
Had the same problem with my 1994 Ram 1500. Crankshaft position sensor was rubbing on the flexplate (flywheel) while engine was running. After about 10 minutes of driving it would cut off spark to the coil and would not start again until the next day. Pain in the ass to get to, it is on top of the bell housing on the passenger side of truck. Two quarter inch allen head bolts secure it in place. Come to find out the last owner cut a hole in the floorboard to get to it and apparently botched the installation. Found the replacement sensor on eBay for a mere $13!!
Did it shut off while you'd drive? My 94 ram is shutting off while driving then after about15mins it'll turn back on I could drive for a bit but eventually it'll die again.. Took it to the shop they checked the fuel pump and it was working fine..could it be this sensor?thnkss
For the guys having the starting stalling problem check your fuel pump relay. Sometimes mine would start and run for a few then shut off. I noticed when I turned the key to ON I sometimes didn't hear the fuel pump cycle. Swap it with a known good one until you can replace it. I have an '02 1500 4.7
Thanks for your post! Here's a 40 minute removal from the top- you'll never have to get under the engine or remove a wheel and inner fender: Remove the air intake plastics and cover the throttle body. Make an 3/8 extension set to clear the valve covers (different for each bolt and described below) and still be firmly seated into the 1/4 inch hex head. remove bolts, remove sensor by pulling it out of the bell housing, fish it toward the throttle body, pull the wiring connectors up to gain access, disconnect the wires and fish it back to the sensor, remove sensor, reinstall in reverse order. The only tools needed are described below. Good luck if you go this route. :-) I took mine out pretty easy using a 3/8 ratchet, swivel, 6 inch extension, 10 inch extension (only to link to the extensions above the valve cover). There are two ways to assemble the extensions: for the bolt nearest the throttle body- 1/4 inch hex socket to 6 inch extension to swivel to 10 inch extension to ratchet. For the bolt nearest the inner fender- 1/4 hex socket to swivel to 6 inch (maybe a 4 inch would be better) to 10 inch extension to ratchet. You can get your hand in there to start and remove both the bolts from the top. Don't panic! Just get your hands in there. Hands go over the top or around the side/ below the valve cover for the different bolt locations. After the two bolts are removed...locate the plug connector near the fuel rail or behind the distributor. I worked the old sensor back toward the fuel rail, disconnected the wiring, and fished the old sensor back- noting the route. Then I removed and reinstalled in a similar fashion. About 40 minutes.
Would This Make A Knocking Sound By My Oil Pan On A 2002 Ram 1500
Dude my 5.9 is literally impossible. I've got the frame and the exhaust manifold in the way and can't even get to it. I'm about ready to give up.

Thank you for being simple and to the point! Very helpful
Is this the same for an 04 dakota 4wd ext cab
Thanks Dood. I had a heck of a time trying to find this PITA.
This was a great idea, saved me a lot of time and I was able to find ever thing easily. Thank you

good video, I always forget the size of bolts too, after working on cars since 1978.
Excellent, come down to New Zealand I'll buy you a beer, very helpful.
Thanks for the video man,saved me a lot of time :)
Lmfo. right on buddy. Saved me from looking for an actual distrust
What would that fix
13 mm bolt on my RAM
Allen wrench for mine and its at the top by the transmission dip stick and fire wall
