I can make it run by holding down the gas but thats it as soon as let off........stalls.  any ideas? Post #: 1

Everytime I started it it would stall, if I held my foot on the pedal it would run. Turns out I needed a new battery, if the battery gets to low the durango forgets the throtle postion and that why it wouldn't stay running. Hope this helps. (in reply to jax_durango) Post #: 2

Had to clean mine one night when it kept dying. No doubt it WAS the problem..... < Message edited by dragrcr1962 -- 10/1/2007 7:09:47 PM > (in reply to brsbrowsing) Post #: 4
