Are you getting spark and fuel to the engine? Have you checked fuel pump pressure? Has the check engine light come on? Have you checked the catalytic converter to see if it is plugged?

Let me know.

It sounds like a fuel delivery problem. Have the fuel pressure checked.

Engine Performance problem
2001 Dodge Durango V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 85000 miles

Hi there, and thanks for your help. Recently my son discovered one of the eight cylinders on his Dodge Durango was not working. What could have caused this and what is it going to take to get it fixed, also what range in cost might it be?

If you can't do the checks I've suggested then I dont' know what to tell you these are basic checks tht have to be done to find a direction to go to. Also check vacuum at intake if 15" or below suspect clogged exhaust.
