my brothers 2005 dodge has a problem with the throttle hanging up around 3000 rpm does anyone have any ideas he has a predator programer with power puck

It is due to the power puck. Pressure boxes will show this symptom up alot quicker. Rail pressure has to drop back down hince the hanging. Stock trucks can even do it.

Super Dave

Once fuel is in under high pressure in the rail, the only way the pressure can be bled down is to send it though the injectors. So when you are at WOT and the RP is high and you suddenly let off the throttle, the rail pressure is still high and the ECM will bleed the pressure off through the injectors. This causes the engine to keep making power for a couple of seconds after you let up on the throttle. It can be kinda scary if you are in traffic.

that and the turbo being wound up ... this caught me off guard at first when plowing ... give 'er a good shot to pile up the snow and she just kept going ... drove 1/2 way up the pile LOL

Mine does this real bad and has almost caused me to be in two different accidents.

Once when taking off at a light and turning right, the road was wet and the rear end started to spin so I immediately let off the accelerator but the engine kept on accelerating for another 3 or so seconds causing the rear end to completely spin around 180 degrees. Luckily I didn't hit anyone but scared the living he11 out of me. I even slammed on the brakes but it was hard to brake an accelerating truck.
My question is, can this be reprogrammed or eliminated as I cant stand how this operates and its dangerous.

Here is something I tried to see what happened.... in park I accelerated the engine to 3000 rpm, held it there for a few seconds and then left off the pedal and the engine continued to stay at 3000 rpm for about 3-4 seconds and then took another 5 seconds to come all the way down to idle.
IMO THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS!

I brought the subject up once before but really never got any one to come up with a solution.

Anyone know if there is a fix?

Thats crazy. I've never had it happen to me. I glad I know about it in case it does happen to me.

Mine does that too, but never while driving at least not that I noticed. It does it while idoling if I burp the throttle. I do not have a puck.

So is anyone else have this issue? I sure wish I could find a fix. The dealer claims that it is performing as designed, but I seriously doubt it.

thanks guys my computer went down the drain ad my dad had a reck n a 18 wheeler and has been n icu not had it happen 2 my truck

Best wishes for your father.
I am so frustrated with it I don't know what to do. Should I take it to another dealer or will they tell me the same thing, that it is normal to do that?
