ETC light ?? 2004 RAM - 01/19/18 03:49 AM
Question about my truck = 04 Ram , 5.7
The other day I went to start it to warm up. I let it run about 5 minutes and went out and it would idle high up to 2k for 10 seconds....then would go down to 500 for 10 seconds.....over and over.
A warning light came on and was flashing = ETC (electronic Throttle Control)
I shut it off for a few seconds and it started back up and its ran fine since.
The truck was outside for at least 24 hrs in -5 degree cold. Im assuming thats what caused it ?? It hasnt done it again.
If it happens again, what part do i need to replace or check ?
