It turns out that the fuel injectors were clogged.
A fuel injector's current draw, measured in amps, is a function of the fuel injector's actual impedance. Your answer is then necessarily dependent upon the impedance of your injectors. To determine your injector's draw, simply divide voltage by ohms. That is, given a 12v circuit and an injector with 12 ohms resistance, the draw is 1 amp (12 divided by 1).
It tells the ecm where #1 cyl is and when to fire the plug and the injector.
It sounds like you have a bad tps.(throttle positioning sensor) it tells the onboard computer how far you have your foot on the accelerator. its like the volume control knob on a radio.after repeated use it gets scratched inside and starts to send a bad signal to the onboard computer. the computer is doing what it is being told. unfortunately in your case it is the wrong signal.Next is the fuel filter,and the fuel pressure regulator. this 2 items will also make up and down abnormal idle.one more possobility is dirty fuel injectors. dump some fuel injector cleaner or get a professinal injector service clean at a repair station.
faulty distributer, bad earth terminal on batterie also body controle unit ontop of park brake can stop injector pulse, early to late 90 models

Are you sure you are changing injector #7? Should be the injector closest to the firewall on the drivers side. If you are changing the correct injector, and the code remains, the problem is with the wiring from the injector to the pcm (computer) or the computer itself. You can check for correct battery voltage at the injector with a volt/ohm meter (how does the connector look at the injector?). This year of Durango/Dakota had trouble with computers too, although I have not heard of specific injector trouble being caused by the computer. Most likely a wiring problem. It may even be the TPS
The engine computer.
The ECU. (COMPUTER)
Unplugged connector, failed injector, broken wire, bad computer.
voltage spike, bad computer, dirt/grit in fuel line plugging injector,
A fuel injector is pretty much like an electric solenoid. The injector is therefore an electrical and mechanical component. It opens and closes a plunger which is pulsed in the injector by the on board computer. The computer uses all the other sensors on the vehicle to calculate how long or how many pulses needed to keep the fuel injector open. Fuel is driven to the injector or injectors by an electric pump which also is regulated by pressure. The injector is closed before compression of the engine or is opened on the down stroke of the cycle. In other words; when the injector has electricity going to it, then it opens. Without electricity it naturally closes.
The engince control computer. Why ?
The engine computer (pcm) controls the injector pulse. It looks at numerous sensors and switches to calculate pulse width
possible problems are: The fuse is blown, or the injector is bad, or the wiring to the injector is bad, or the computer is bad
Injector pulse is controlled by the ECU. Injectors Have a red wire that is hot. Black wire is controled by computer ground...
I had to replace the injector itself the other day as it was not allowing the fuel to go into the TBI unit. I used the injector test light on the harness and it show the computer as being good.
