Loud ticking noise when first staring, engine stalls sometimes when starting it unless I hold the gas pedal down

When I first start my 99 durango 5.2l v8 4wd 148,000 miles, I hears a loud ticking noise coming from engine possible fan or belt area? Sound goes away after the engine warms up. It also won't start sometimes unless I keep my foot on the gas pedal for a few min and while driving it at 50mph or high once I take my foot off the gas the rpms drop and feels like the engine is braking itself. No check engine light is on, I just changed the oil at 145,00 miles and soon after replaced all spark plugs wires and the coil. Just put on a new serpentine belt and changed both o2 sensors. Was thinking of changing out he IAC and TPS as well?

The TPS would be what I would do had that problem once myself solved the problem. as for the ticking noise sounds like a lifter is bleeding down as long as the noise goes away you will be ok. But may I suggest that if you are going to keep the vehicle for awhile longer you might want to have a set of lifters put in it.

SOURCE: .Ok I have a 01

It sounds to me like there is a problem with your Idle Speed Control solenoid/motor. (ISC) These can sometimes fail without turning on the Check Engine light. If the Check Engine light is coming on while you are driving, you should have the computer system checked out first. This will lead you to the proper fix.

I had the same problem and it was the alternator bearing, but before you replace it, make it sure it is the alternator, because it could be any bearing

Pound ticking noise when my 99 durango starts goes away after the engine warms up

The ticking noise could be a faulty hydrulic valve lifter. When last was the oil & filter changed, it coul be that the oil is thick and not going through to the lifters and when it warms up the oil is thin. It could be that the engine is need of an overhaul as 148.000 miles is 238.182 Kilometers and that is a hi milage.

Durango starts only when gas pedal is pressed down

Chances are it could be over fueling with an injector stuck open or a vacuum leak from the intake manifold gaskets more than likely

My 99 crv stalls on cold starts,have to hold the gas pedal down until engine warms up

Hello.
Here are 2 very common causes for your issue.
1. Dirty air filter.
2. Faulty, or dirty MAF, ( mass air flow ), sensor.

Both of these things can restrict air flow to the engine. Your ECM, ( electronic control module, also referred to as the computer ), regulates the fuel/air mix ratio for the engine, which should be 1 part fuel to 14.7 parts air. When the air is resricted it often causes the driver to have to compensate the lower air level with fuel, which may be why you have to hold the gas pedal down to prevent stalling.

I hope this helps you.

My 1998 Durango is stalling out on the Highway.

Google for a refurbished PCM "Brain" and call the guys from the Florida company -- my 99 Durango had similar problem and I replaced the PCM < $300.00 and no problems since.
