   I need to install the car monitoring program on my tablet/netbook and drive   
   around to make sure there are no "soft codes".   
      
   I took the idle air control sensor out today and gave it a good cleaning with   
   carb cleaner.  I had replaced it a few years ago - but it did have some   
   buildup on it.  I also cleaned some of the throttle body.  It seems to idle   
   fine now, but we will see if it lasts.     
      
   I just checked, and it says the 2001 Durango V8 has 8 spark plugs.  It doesn't   
   look like it would be difficult if it wasn't for the fact that two of them are   
   under a bunch of other things (which would have to be removed).
