Thinking smuggly when i read all the 03 owners problems with phantom rev's, wierd idle problems, performance decreases, i thought how smart i was waiting a year and buying an 04.
Well guess who just got the damn TPS problem at 6000 miles after 4 months of ownership. Yep, car goes in tuesday for service, i know what the problem is, lets see if the techs do. Really dissapointing that dodge even after one year of these problems could not fix it for the 04 (and betting 05) model years.
ok... well mine is working perfectly fine after 15,000+ miles and I have an 04.
maybe you just suck?
Yeah, i just suck. Thats why theres hundred of posts on this same problem. Sorry if your a fanboy and i hit a nerve, and that the turbo neon is the best car eVar, but if you were old enough to have bought multiple new cars, you would know that this is not how a new car works.
A car that makes noises is one thing, a car with a junk tps harness that accelerates without your input is a bit dangerous.
you should have asked for the problem free srt-4 when you bought it. what were you thinking?
man, who would have thought a car would have had a problem? I thought they were all perfect.
sorry about your luck man.
14,000 on mine and runs beautifully.
Its new, get that. IM a freakin car tech for god sakes, im not some teenage child who doesnt understand cars.
Problem free SRT..heh.. funny... i bought a brand new honda, a brand new acura, a brand new GM, and a brand new ford over the years. How silly was I to think that over the last 10 years that these NEW cars were a fluke, and that they should have come with problems from the dealership.
Now looking back, how dare i expect something new to be ok for at least a few months. Maybe i shouldnt even take it in , because problems with the srt come stock. Gotcha
JUst had a air to fuel gauge, oil and volt meter installed.. Now When i go to take off the the blow off valve sometimes goes of or when i drive just slow it will go off or when i come to a stop it keeps going off. What do u think the problem can be. Cna any one please help me or point me into the right direction. Do u think this could be my tps
Actually it ran a little soft after about 1000 miles. Didnt have all the power that it used to have. I figured it was something like a boost leak, or something minor. Then the past few days, and increasingly more, and worse the car rev's by itself, you drive let off the gas in gear, and the car maintains speed, not drops. Very annoying. Boost guage flutters at idle too, seems to be spark knocking also at idle... i dont know.

Thanks shaun
Vaccum hose leak i would suspect. Check your connections.
Did it jerk when u let of the gas and left the car come to a stop
It will jerk sometimes because it accelerates itself , yep.
About the vaccum lines, there are a bunch of multicolored line under the hood leading into solenoids. Make sure all the lines are firmly hook up. Zip tie them if you want to be sure

I can take the cake here man
2003 Acura RSX Type-S bought with 6 miles on the odometer and still with the white plastic shit on it right off the truck.
2500 Miles, Transmission was replaced because my syncros in 2nd and 3rd were shot.
5000 Miles, Cant engage reverse without a god awful grind while fully stopped with foot depressing brakes all the way and parking brake pulled all the way. Reverse replaced, 5th gera and 6th gear shift cables replaced, asked tech about my clutch he said he was showing the normal ammount of wear for 5000 miles.
10,000 Miles, 2nd and 3rd fuckign up again, clutch is slipping, reverse acting up again. Rebuilt transmission again, nothing was fixed cept for the clutch.
11,000 Miles - traded in for 2004 SRT-4.
I never once launched that car hard, never missed a gear, never grinded, never rode the clutch, rev matched all my downshifts...
