Default engine stalling after coming to a stop

I have a 99 dodge ram 1500 4x4 sport 5.9L. I searched through the threads and couldnt find an answer so im posting a new thread. The truck will run great until i have to stop like at a light. When I go to take off again after braking to a stop it will stall and then the engine dies out. But only when I brake to a stop. Not when i put it in park and try to go again. But if I stop and keep a foot on the gas and one on the brake it's fine even though i know youre not suppose to do that. but quiet frankly i dont like my truck being stuck at an intersection. I will also note the truck did sit for 2 years before i got it. Ive put a lot of time and money into this truck.

Try cleaning the IAC. Disconnect negative battery cable first. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/dodge-r...n-the-iac.html

Wow....um...What engine? How many miles? Check engine light on? A little more info would go along way towards us helping you. You might also consider starting your own thread. Welcome to the forum.

Glad it worked.

I would also like to add that I meant no disrespect to that "loser" . After all, he is the one that chose that name. I was just having fun with it.

Did you remove the throttle body or just remove the IAC? Looks like a PIA to get to without removing the TB. Thing is, the doofuses at autozone look at me funny when I ask the a throttle body gasket for my truck. Have not tried oreilly's yet, but those meatheads p!ss me off too.
