Stall at Idle. - 5/7/2008 7:43:31 PM    chet   Posts: 106 Joined: 3/6/2007 Status: offline I've posted this before and i thought that i had gotten rid of my problem. It is back but only when the truck is fully warmed up and at an idle. The only code im throwing is a 0442 which the dealership says is a gas cap and it should go off. I was wondering what could make my truck stall only at an idle. It still runs like a champ when your on the gas. But if you let it stall and then give it gas it will either pick back up or sputter, so im not sure if its a ignition problem not igniting everytime. someone please help. _____________________________ 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport, OffRoad 5.9 360 4x4 K&N CAI Straight Piped 4.10 Rear End Coming: FastMan 52mm TB Post #: 1

I also hear a sucking sound when it stalls like the engine is pulling mass amounts of air and it doesnt need to be... _____________________________ 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport, OffRoad 5.9 360 4x4 K&N CAI Straight Piped 4.10 Rear End Coming: FastMan 52mm TB (in reply to 01DodgeRam360) Post #: 3

RE: Stall at Idle. - 5/7/2008 11:07:27 PM    Mudbone25 Posts: 139 Joined: 8/2/2007 Status: offline The sensor at the back of the throttle body is the IAC not IAT. It's the Idle Air Controler. It has a plunger that allows air to pass throught the throttle body to control the idle speed. Im having the same problem right now and just picked up a new one at autozone for 43 bucks. Ill let you know if it worked tomorrow when install it. _____________________________ 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 Flowmaster super 40 dual out the side Super lift 3" lift Hankook Dynapro MT 295/75R16 Mopar Proformance Air Cleaner (in reply to chet) Post #: 8

RE: Stall at Idle. - 5/8/2008 7:56:59 AM    ccanales   Posts: 23 Joined: 11/16/2006 Status: offline When my truck did this, the IAC was part of the problem.  After you replace the IAC, drive the truck for a while and give wide open throttle as well.  The wide open throttle helps the ECU re-calibrate the IAC.  Double check fuel pressure (in reply to Ram_King) Post #: 10

I had the same problem with the IAC but it took 4 of them to get a good one. I also replaced my battery because of a dead cell at the same time I put IAC #4 in, so I don't know if they were related or not. (in reply to ccanales) Post #: 11

RE: Stall at Idle. - 5/8/2008 10:30:11 AM    chet   Posts: 106 Joined: 3/6/2007 Status: offline so were up to IAT, IAC, Plugs, Timing, Oxygen Sensors. I dunno what to try first :( I think imma start with the oxygen sensors if i can find a place that sells them for a decent price. Can you get them for cheaper than $90 a piece ? < Message edited by chet -- 5/8/2008 10:42:51 AM > _____________________________ 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport, OffRoad 5.9 360 4x4 K&N CAI Straight Piped 4.10 Rear End Coming: FastMan 52mm TB (in reply to tomwom) Post #: 12

RE: Stall at Idle. - 5/8/2008 2:39:33 PM    Mudbone25 Posts: 139 Joined: 8/2/2007 Status: offline If you replace the IAC disconnect the battery first. I just replaced mine today and forgot to and had all sorts of problems at first. The PCM memmory relays a reading to the IAC based on whats stored from the first start up. If you replace the sensor with out resetting the pcm its just going to send the old readings and youll wind up with more problems then you had before. _____________________________ 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 Flowmaster super 40 dual out the side Super lift 3" lift Hankook Dynapro MT 295/75R16 Mopar Proformance Air Cleaner (in reply to mopowar) Post #: 15
