Default Stalling problem, cleaning parts.

So i just got my truck pretty much done, 1992 v8 auto 4x4. on 33s with no body lift. anyways its got a major stallin issue which it has always had but its even worse with the bigger tires, my question is, since its not the splice area,

what is the best way to clean all of the sensors that are associated with this???? thanks for the info.

When does it stall? On idle? If you hold the gas does it keep it from dieing? If so most likely it is the IAC Idle Air Control motor. The are a common problem. Replace it, some new ones are bad too, if needed try a 2nd new one if it doesn't fix it.

With the larger tire like 33's it is a good idea to get lower ratio gears to gain lost MPG and HP that the larger tires took.

it happens when i go to take off. i shift, and give it gas, right after i give it gas it stalls, almost dies, sometimes does die, and then it gives it all that gas like i floored it and roasted the tires. got me way stuck the other day. if im traveling down a dirt road giving it barely any gas it will continuosly do it, so i just let it idle down the road. I have many plans left for the truck still, including gears, a locker, a 5 speed, and a performance pcm, plus more. But before i do all that i would rather figure out why its stalling like it does, its quite annoying, and since im using it more as a trail rig right now since i lost my license, it would be way better if it didnt dig me deep in soupy a** mud. its breakup right now up here, which causes hellacious mud lol.
