I have 2003 dodge ram 1500 with a 4.7. It has 84000 miles on the engine. When i start it up it acts like it is choking and the exhaust tips have a fuel dusting that wipes off easily. After it warms up it will start ok but the rpm's are not steady.

Start with a fresh tune up, clean the throttle body, check your pcv valve, and air idle control module.....

Would that be the tps? That might fix your rough idle a little bit. Mine went bad, didn't throw any codes but helped with the rough idle slightly. I'm still trying to figure out the rest of it. Gonna clean my throttle body soon and see if that helps.

I think that is the air intake temp sensor. It just tells the pcm to run leaner or richer during outside temps.

I would say tps
Thanks to all for your help on my 4.7 problems. Im better with the muscle cars . I have 2 1969 roadrunners and a 1973 dart. The dart is a 499 inch wedge on alky. 1st pass it ran 6.68 1.48 60 ft. I was just trying to get the feel of the car, it didn't hit the 5000 shift light , i didn't hold it to the floor yet and i launched at 2000, no trans brake, no delay box, just old school foot brake.
