Engine Performance problem
2002 Dodge Durango V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
The vehicle idles revs while in Park and surges when in drive and stopped. Auto Zone said it could be the air sensor. Any help is appreciated.

Inspect and test the idle air control motor and also the fuel pressure

When my 2002 Durango 4.7 SLT 4WD had this happen, I replaced my TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) and problem went away over a year now. Easy to install if that is your issue.
