If you pull the O2 sensor just replace it.
May as well while it’s out.
I have a 2000 Dakota Quad 4.7 Auto
Only 30,000 miles. That’s right 30,000!
On the way home from a 500 trip towing a boat I got a check engine code. Crank sensor!
Changed the sensor and it got rid of the problem.
I am telling you this because my truck also had a suspicious idle problem.
I did all of the diagnostics etc etc and nothing. No codes nothing.
Here’s the result now.
Since the failure resulting in the Crank sensor replacement the truck idles fine and the code has not returned.
There was no code and I had a bad idle. Nothing showed on anything. NOTHING!
So I drove it and lived with it until it finally showed itself.
Sometimes you just have to live with the Gremlin until it shows itself.
It took a year and about 6000 miles.
Things like this makes ya crazy.
Please let us know your final findings.
