THIS ENGINE HAS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL..THERE ARE 2 THROTTLE POSITION SENSORS LOCATED IN THE THROTTLE BODY,COMPLETE ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED IF DEFECTIVE..IT ALSO HAS SENSORS IN THROTTLE PEDAL ASSEMBLY AS WELL..WHAT TROUBLE ARE YOU HAVING?

The EGR, or exhaust gas recirculation valve, takes inert exhaust gasses drawn from the exhaust system and reintroduces them into the combustion chamber through the intake manifold. This process lowers the peak combustion temperature and helps combat the formation of Nitrous Oxide (NOx) in the exhaust.

1. Separate the intake ducts from the air cleaner assembly by loosening the retaining clamps and pulling the ducts away from the housing.
   
2. Disconnect the vacuum line from the air cleaner assembly.
   
3. Remove the wing nut that secures the air cleaner housing lid to the base.
   
4. Remove both the air cleaner hosing lid and base.
   
5. Locate the EGR valve. Look at the front of intake manifold. The EGR valve will be bolted to the intake manifold just in front of the carburetor.

And, here's some basic info. If you have either: keyless entry, premium infinity stereo, or fog lights, then you have the basic BCM for the overhead console.

There's 2 types of overheads:
OTIS (Overhead Traveling Information System)
EVIC (Electronic Vehicle Information Center)

OTIS has two versions: 1 with Homelink and 1 without Homelink
OTIS modules have the name of the buttons written on the console underneath the actual button.

EVIC modules ALWAYS have Homelink buttons, but they are also capable to telling you other stuff like low washer fluid, they can allow you to program your horn, lights, etc. It's a really nice module - BUT here's where th BCM comes in (and I don't have enough info about the BCM and the EVICs to know for sure): I have read on the internet that you might have a BCM that cannot talk to an EVIC. If that's the case, you might get some funny actions coming from the module readout.

Here's some part numbers for you:
If you just want to add the Homelink (garage door openers),
then you can use the following for 03+ --> 56049707AF
If you really want an EVIC, this part number was used by gc714 and everything works except for the tire pressure monitors (but that is because he doesn't have the tire pressure sensors on his wheels) --> 56045574AE

I know this is a little long, but I thought you might want some information so you know what you're dealing with and maybe know what the dealer guys are talking about. Other than suggesting you view this wjjeeps.com/evic


Hope help with this.

I have a 2005 dodge 1500 with the 4.7 litre engine. The cruise control is intermittent. Sometimes you turn it on and the cruise light stays on for a bit and sometimes it shuts off within a second or so. Any ideas; without the cruise light on I have no cruise.

Accessory serpentine belt routing: Alternator (1), idler pulley (2), P/S pump (3), A/C compressor (4), crankshaft (5), belt tensioner (6) and water pump (7)-5.7L engine

Usually you get a code that tells you which cylinder or cylinders are acting up.
The code means the cylinder (s) are not providing power but does not tell you why.
So you have to figure out if it is an ignition, compression, or fuel problem to proceed. Could also be a vac leak.

typically they are located near the oil filter. There are 4 different engine options for your vehicle. What engine do you have?
