Truck almost stalls
bought 2001 dodge ram 1500, 130k km about a month ago, since It has randomly began to idle low and start seeming like its about to stall. It has actually cut about on 3 different occasions, other times it drives perfect. Also today i drove and parked for a when my truck started to idle low and seem to stall when the CHECK GAUGES light came on and oil pressure went to 0, turned key off and back on and it went back up. Hoping some one may have an idea of what the problem may be
Any ideas?
thanks

Yank the throttle body, and clean the snot out of it. (new TB gasket is only two bucks.) ESPECIALLY the IAC well on the back. (pull the IAC motor out, but just wipe off the pintle, don't move it, or do anything else to it.....) Reset the pcm. (just leave the battery unhooked while you are doing your cleaning.) Make sure all connectors are clean when you put it back together.
Check gauges lite, and all that, may have been just because it was idling low.
