What codes are present? Check throttle position sensor and Idle control valve. Clean MAF.

What's missing ? Fuel , spark . What condition is the battery in ? Fully charged 12.6 volts . When you turn the key to start does the starter spin the engine ? A crank no start or nothing happens when you turn the key to start . Videos on youtube ! Crank no start or no crank no start .

Change the gas filter. If car sat for 2 years without being started, the gas could be stale Put fuel system cleaner in gas tank. The car may need a double dose.

Check temp sensor and TPS, throttle positioning sensor.The power control module,"pcm.is a possible thought.Just check all connections. It is always a good idea to spray WD 40 or equivalent in the connections.

Your alternator is not recharging the battery. You need to check the connections on the alternator. You should have 12V on the "FIELD" terminal on the alternator. If not, find out why. Check for a blown ALT fuse.

Also, check the voltage on the battery when the engine is running. It should be more than 12V if the charging system is working correctly.

hi, there may be a number of things blocked SLOW RUNNING JETS ( inside carburetter), spark plugs need replacing or cleaning, high tention spark plug leads dodgy (cracked insulation) leaking current (missing spark), distributer cap and or rotar arm ( cap inside distributer), insufisient fuel feed. gerry

Will not idle unless gas is applied?
Will stay idle after a bit of running?

First i'd recomend starting off with a new battery if yours is older, durangos have a quirk with voltages and sometimes wont play with 12v.
Also the TPS could be an issue.

spark plugs,crappy gas,

Try cleaning or replacing idle speed motor.
