89 Ram 250, Engine Dies while coming to a stop
Hi,
I have an 1989 Dodge Power Ram 250 4X4 Automatic, I have recently installed new plugs, wires, rotor cap, and thing that spins inside of it, I have hedders, 4" Lift it's really quite a nice truck with 90,000 miles. Now the problem is when i apply the brakes at slow speeds the truck Dies as the speed decreases and it quits... Now The throttle Solenoid thign that adjusts my petal and aplies throttle when it's started i unplugged that to see if it'd make any difference, none, just made it worse, so that might be the problem, but if i put it in gear and drive off my idle and put on the brakes and come to a stop it's fine, but once i give a little bit of throttle it dies when it comes to a stop, now this is all at low speed... and i can't go over 15 mph in first and about 20 in 2nd before it starts misfiring and running like ****. All the electrical connections look to be in order, except for this one 4 female prong square one that has ribbed yellow rubber things, that is unplugged. So anybody with any clue of anythign would be welcomed and highly appreciated, also i have checked for Intake Leaks, there are none, Let me know! Thanks,

Is it showing any diagnostics codes? ( ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS ) I've read on allpar.com about similar problems being caused by the distance sensor.
