Check engine light and no accelaration

Initially I had a code p1784 on my dodge durango. the check engine light was on. The mechanic serviced it and the check engine light went off. Yesterday, the check engine light came on and 3 addtional codes popped up: p1781, po734,p1732 in addition to p1784. What is going on? I have been getting my car checked out regularly.

All the codes starting p1 are manufacture specific codes you need to take it to a dealer. the p0734 relates to a transmission problem the person who serviced your vehicle only cleared the fault codes the prob is still there

SOURCE: P0551 code on 2000 Dodge Durango

P0551 Power Steering Pressure Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
There is a switch that senses the pressure of the hydraulic fluid which reflects how hard it is working (e.g. like when turning at low speed or when stopped). It then opens the switch (which is normally grounded) and a wire to the powertrain controller senses that and increase the idle speed accordingly so the engine doesn' falter. Here is an exchange I had earlier with another owner about it.
"The switch is located on the back side of the power steering gear. It is supposed to raise the idle speed when you are turning the wheels at low speeds when the system will require more pressure and thus otherwise drag down the idle. The wire to the switch is dark blue/light green (signal) and a black ground; and the signal wire goes to pin 45 of the powertrain control module. So you might check the connector at the switch and the connection to pin 45 of the controller, from pin 2 of the plug...
All I can add is that if you locate the two high pressure lines that run to the steering gear from the power steering pump you will find the switch right next to where those two lines connect to the gear. It no doubt just screws out and then install the new one. The manual says that you remove the electrical plug, lifting the locking tab carefully. Then it says to use a crowfoot wrench and extension to remove the old one. The steering fluid will run out so be prepared to clean catch it, and be ready to screw in the new one to minimize loss. If you catch the fluid in a clean pan you car reuse it. The torque spec with a crowfoot wrench is 12 foot pounds and you have to be careful not to exceed the limit or you may ruin the fine hydraulic threads on the steering gear and then you have a potentially expensive problem. So if you can't get a crowfoot that fits the sensor (when you buy the replacement you can see what the size it) and don't have an extension and a torque wrench you may want to let the shop do it. Make sure the electrical plug is in place with the locking tab engaging the tab on the switch. Refill the power steering reservoir. Start the engine and then turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to bleed the air from the system. Use only Chrysler power steering fluid if you loose some of it."
I doubt it has anything to do with the fluid, unless the code started right after that. If the wire seems OK, then the question is the switch stuck open (measure that) or is the pressure really too high when you are driving at normal speed or not even turning the wheel. That would have to measured with a gauge. Let me know what you learn, please, or have further questions. Hope this helps I know alot of info but should help you please rate thank you

SOURCE: 1999 Dodge Durango Check engine light on, with code No bu5

Try disconnecting your cpu (three plugs next to your air cleaner). this will reset your on board computer. If it happens again, ice it (keep it dry) to keep it cool until you can get it looked at. A microswitch may be the root of this problem.

SOURCE: Engine Code P0505

After the IAC is replaced it is not enough to clear the code you must also reset the IAC learned adaptive. To do this you will need a higher end scanner like snap-on or such.

    I have a P1784 code on my dodge durango what do you recommend?

    Depending on your skills you could check the wire harness to the transmission and it's connectors. Other than that it may be a job for your transmission repair shop.
    Hope it works out OK for you.

    2001 dodge durango runs fine until you pull up to stoplight and engine stalls. some mornings will not start

    What have you done and/or replaced so far? I would start with checking the battery (12.6 cold), check the charging system (13.5 to 15 volts), check the fuel-line pressure. Does the engine light come on at all? If so have the codes read, this might help put you in the right direction. If the light isn't coming on then the problem should be mechanical. Like the fuel pump, gas cap, vacuum line, or IAC..

    Engine light on

    Sometimes if the gas cap is open while the car runs, the Check Engine Light turns on. This is common and happens on many vehicles. Try unplugging the negative part of your battery, let it sit for 10 minutes, then plug it back in and start the vehicle up. Most of the time the check engine light will disappear. If it persists, you might have to get a mechanic to clear the code and settle your check engine light.
