Engine Stalling

Engine Stalling
Hey, new to the forums here, but have been seeing some good information. I have a question. So, I know it is my fault, but I was kind of power braking my truck at a red light the other day. like giving gas and hitting brakes at the same time. Yeah i was being dumb. But, since then my truck has been stalling when i come to quick stops. It doesn't do it everytime but maybe 5 out of 10 on quick stops like at last minute red lights usually has a funky jumpy idle right before it dies at quick stops. Then also maybe 5 out of 10 times on just like a smooth throttle take off just a normal taking off from a red light it takes off smooth then the idle jumps up just a quick second and then its normal again. Other than that everything is fine drives excellent. I'm driving a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7L 2WD short bed and its just the regular gas not a flex fuel. Does anyone know of anything it might be. I haven't done anything to it yet. I crawled under there to see if the drive shaft or yokes might have been loose considering the power braking but seemed fine. Thanks for the help.

You don't mention SES light on??? So I assume there is no light? Therefore no codes set.
Try resetting the computer. See what happens. Next I would remove the throttle body and clean it as well as the IAC valve. Hopefully that will solve your problem. Other than that I don't know.
I just added Sea Foam thru the brake booster line to my 03 4.7. As a result my truck would studder at idle and ALWAYS stalled when gear shifted into Park. NO SES light set. Otherwise it ran perfect.
I just cleaned the throttle body and IAC 3 or 4 months ago. I know it was not dirty. I decided to remove the t-body and clean it out again and reset computer. Engine is back to normal.
Good Luck
