Default Stalling problem

Hi all!

I bought a '98 Ram 2500 a few months ago. I love the truck, never gave me any problems until the other day.

I pulled into my driveway, which is on a slight incline. I shut it off, and the next day I hopped in and went to start it, it wouldn't fire. I looked at the fuel gauge and saw it was on E or almost there.

Okay, simple enough, I was a dumbass and ran it out of gas. Quick run to the gas station with the car and a can. Put 2 gallons in it, and it took a while to prime I guess but it fired up.

The problem now is it doesnt always idle, and often stalls. Never did that before. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Barry

btw, it's a 5.9

Default RE: Stalling problem

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking that the fuel sock in the tank might have picked up a lot of crap since I ran it so low. My other guess is that it could be the throttle position sensor. [sm=confused06.gif]

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Thanks [sm=idontcare.gif]
