Some noises are just noises. If it runs and you have no problems, I'd leave it alone. I can hear my injectors ticking as they operate at idle.

Either the throttle body(TPS) or the gas pedal(APP). A scanner will tell you real quick. I have replaced more APP's than TPS's.

More info please! Is it a manual or automatic transmission? Without more information we could be guessing all day long. is it stuck in first or third gear? does it go into reverse? Provide information freely.

Try cleaning the throttle body

Check your fuse box. A lot of people seem too be having trouble wit the fuse box getting messed up on 3 and 4 year old Dodges Calibers. They have been finding a lot of corrosion behind the box. Take it too a dealer or just go too Auto Zone and check it out yourself.

check basic wiring fuses etc

A damaged crankshaft pulley, or harmonic balancer, must be replaced. The easiest way to loosen the crank pulley bolt is with an air impact tool. The center bolt is very tight. A long breaker bar, 1/2 inch drive, with a proper socket on the bolt can also work, but you need someway to hold the crankshaft steady while loosening the bolt-you don't want to let the crankshaft turn backward (counter-clockwise). That is bad for the timing belt. You can hold it steady by removing the starter, and wedge the flywheel with a large screwdriver or prybar held against the flywheel's ring gear teeth. Once you have the bolt loose, sometimes a puller is required to get the pulley off the crankshaft, and sometimes it is not so tight and can be pulled off by hand or with a couple of screwdrivers behind and on each side of pulley and work it off that way.Good luck.
