My idol on my 02 1500 4.7 L fluctuates but not all the time and also I have pre ignition I take the key out and it keeps running for about a second. Idk what to do now cause I have changed every sensor on this truck and still the same problem so it obviously somthing else but I haven't a clue, do you?

Are you getting a check engine light to see what code it is trowing.If the engine is still running it ain;t good for that engine.You said you replaced all the sensors have you checked the knock sensor?

The only four that I haven't changed are the o2s and crank and cam sensors.

I have a Haynes repair manual it is on chapter 6 block 9 knock sensor for 3.7 and 4.7 I just read you will have to remove the intake manifold.This is my firm belief if you going to work on these trucks or cars yourself get you a repair manuel.I got one for most of my stuff I own as a reference believe it will save you big bucks in the long run.

Yes you are right I definitely will b buying a Chilton or Haynes in the very near future. I ordered a tipcm cause I have all kinds of stupid electrical things not working. Also getting more n more codes everyday, today it's p0463,p0455, p0442, p1388. Check light is on and off daily, I changed the ait sensor with the others still no change. So I'm looking around and I see a cap next to the fuse box n open it up and all I see is a thick coat of corrosion on the bolt and piece of copper that goes in to the internal part of box so I can only imagine what it looks like in there. New one should be here tomorrow, we'll see. Thanks for taking the time to help bud.
