this problem will happen when truck is completely cold or not up to operating temps.one mechanic said it was the purge valve.they recalibrated the throttle position sensor.

did you buy the vehicle new?
can you look into the LEMON LAW, will this fit you..if it does they have to fix it or take it back.
what type of mechanism works the gas..meaning hard cable, or electronic gas peddle that uses like a fire wire and electronics to make the increase of gas...if it is the electronic, then you need to do some tracing of the switches and other electronics involved..
do yourself a favor, contact DODGE main corporate office with (what you feel better with) either or or both.. a telephone call and write a postal letter and send it to them asking for help..also write an email....I know Chevy have what they call ( something like it ) special tech teams that go into dealerships when a vehicle can't be fixed by the dealership and these people are a cut above and have special training...so make the telephone calls and write some letter to Dodge main corporate office..
also you might be able to do some research yourself at the local library..
and maybe go to another dealer..
good luck

Take it to them again. Have one of the mechanics sit in the passenger seat and then show them to their face what is going on.

My husband says one of the cylinders is not firing. Take it to a different dealer.
