Been reading some other issues on stalling. Have not found anything useful yet, but I will continue to search. I have recently been having problems with my Dakota (2nd generation 5.2L 4x4 5-speed). The vehicle is now starting to stall coming to a stop light or stop sign. Otherwise the truck is running good.

It is not pulling any codes. I have checked that a couple of times, and no problems. It is also stalling more on hills, and when it is warmed up rather than cold. A little help will be appreciated. If you guys need more information, or have a lead I should follow, please feel free to let me know. Thanks

 

My bad...1997 Dakota.

 

Sounds like it needs a new IAC (Idle air controller). This is located at the back of the throttle body.

 

Thanks for the reply. How often does the IAC go out on this vehicle?

 

more often than it should! its common on our trucks.

 

Yeah, +1 to that! And don't be surprised if you go to advance auto or autozone to get a brand new one that doesn't work either!

 

Like a thermostat. LOL

 

I'll give it a try over the next couple of days and let you know. Thanks a lot for the help.

 

No problem! And be sure to reset the computer after changing the IAC!
