Hello all,
I recently (about 6 months ago) imported a 1998 Durango from japan to the Solomon Islands where I live and run my own business.
Things were going well until about a month ago I started having this problem where the Durango would start fine but when you go to put your foot on the gas the engine dies. If you immediately try to start it again it starts no problem but will die again if the gas is applied. This will happen 6 - 7 times before it will allow you to put it into drive to move off. After the six or seven times the engine warning light comes on and some times it will let you move off but others the problem persists. It has also stalled a number of time going down hills as you ease your foot off the gas pedal. I took it today to my local mechanic and he put the hand held diagnostic on the truck and the fault code P1296.
This problem is driving me crazy as the car conveniently stalls in traffic on single lane roads at about 4 in the afternoon when it is bumper to bumper, the car is full of kids and frozen food slowly defrosting as we sit on the side of the road me cursing the day that I bought a Durango - Somebody help PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
