Does this ever happen to anyone?

Once in awhile when its usualy cold, after I hit the remote start and let the truck warm up, I'll back up and then stop completely and put it in drive and it shuts off like I have stalled a manual transmition, does it even if I dont warm it up, has this happen to any of you?

that happened when i first got my truck, how long since you had a good tune up? run some fuel injector cleaner trough it and mabey some seafoam trough the pcv line. drive the **** out of it for a little bit and blow all the carbon out too.

I've done the seafom but straight through the trottle body, didnt think about the pcv tube..... probly a good idea to do again, I've never ran injector cleaner, im a lil fishy about doing that to cuz i hear its good or bad no grey area. Probly due for a plug chang though...

It just stalls out? I think it's more than a tune up issue. Clean your IAC passage and examine the valve.

Hmm could be that to, I haven't cleaned it at all since I got it because the idle was bad or rough.
