Default Hemi 2004 Engine just shuts off while driving?? Any ideas??

My 2004 Hemi just shuts off when lifting gas pedal for no reason?? I can start it back up and it will run fine for a while and then the same thing will happen out of no where. I know there have been others with this issue. What is the fix?? Dirty throttle body?

Thanks Guys,

I would get it tuned up and they should change the plugs (30,000 miles maintenabce) as well as the EGR valve, and wires. They should aslo check the coil packs and fuel filter,

I had the Hemi tuned up 600 miles ago with new plugs, tranny, fluids, etc.. It runs like raped ape. Only when it shuts off some times with out warning when climbing a local hill at 25mph and lifting off the gas. Its like some one unplugs the ground wire and it instantly shuts off. It will start right back up and run fine after. No sputtering or hesitations. It also idles strong and smooth.
My dealer cleaned the throttle body yesterday and reprogrammed the power command center?? Ran fine coming home. We will see in the next few weeks if that did it. FYI...The mechanic did say the throttle body was dirty.

Could be a bad battery cell grounding out causing the issue. Load test it.
