Do the throttle body cleaning and re- learn idle speed control valve.

This problem is commonly caused by a dirty automatic idle speed control valve and throttle valve. Buy a can of throttle valve cleaner (do not use carburetor spray cleaner!) from NAPA or Carquest (made by CRC chemicals) and spray it into the air intake while the engine is running, use up about 1/2 the can, engine will try to stall hold the speed up, shut it down and let it soak for 30 minutes, restart and blow out the remaining fluid, shut it down and disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 Min's to reset the base idle control

2000 Durango,No code thats okay we have the symptom that all we need. Stall when hot.So it stall at idle or if you decelerate then it also stalls.and it start right up. The 2000 Durango is equipt with a ISC (idle speed control motor) and this is mounted on the throttle body.This maintains a target idle speed.The ISC also uses a desired MAP for deceleration.Your solution is a throttle body cleaning,or a ISC (idle speed control) motor.This is the only thing that can cause what is described

First off, how new is your battery and how many miles on the D? Dodge vehicles are very sensitive to a failing battery. Have it load tested, and if is the least bit flaky, replace it.

After that, the TPS or throttle postion sensor is your next.

As far as the revving up and down above 3000 rpm goes, that is the PCM protecting the engine from over revving.

I think a top end cleaning would be of value to you.

1. Remove inlet hose and clean with carb spray
2. Start car and rev up to about 2,000 rpm and feed more carb spray for a moment or two. It may not even want to run without a fight when you are doing this part.
3. With engine running, open throttle (wide open throttle) and hold hand over inlet and then take your hand away and allow it to flow again and release the throttle. Don't over rev it, you just want to create a vacuum state in the intake that will remove carbons, etc. Do this open throttle and cork it with your hand about 6-8 times. Then reassemble anything you took apart.

This trick removes stubborn gunk in the intake by loosening it with carb spray first and creating a vacuum to dislodge it. Expect a little black smoke when doing this trick.

Here is the most common cause of surges and stalls and low idle rough idle, it is the idle speed control air-bypass valve and throttle valve (IAC for short), they get full of gunk over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.
