Hello, I am a new member with a problem. I have a 96 dodge ram with a 360 motor and a k&n air system and holley throttle body. when you start the truck and let idle down and put in gear it runs fine, but when you hit the brake pedal the motor dies. If you let it warm up to 180 degrees it won't shut off coming to a stop. Any answers will be helpful. I forgot to mention it has 168,274 oringinal miles.

 

I had that problem with my ranger. I forget what the hell caused it. Something to do with the fuel mixture before the enging is warm. I think it was called an ips or something but I'm not sure. Someone will know. This is gonna bother me till I remember. [:@]

 

you may want to replace the Idle Air Control (IAC) motor on the rear of the throttle body. do a search for a million posts and diy's. its about $45-50 at local auto parts. not required, but you may want to remove TB and clean the whole thing. you can also check down in plenum for leaking gasket.

 

I believe that was the part I was refering to earlier.

 

that makes sense, because when you hit the brakes the torque converter unlocks, which would cause the computer to change fuel variables, and if the iac doesnt work properly, it could cause that.

 

It does sound like your IAC is sticking... I'd take it a step farther and yank off the TB and clean it real good.

 

I just had the IAC replaced on mine last week. Was doing the same thing as yours.

 

Thank you for helping with my problem. I am going friday to get the air control sensor, I forgot to mention in my first post that my ram has a gibson sport truck catback exhaust system and thank you again for your help.

 

well let us know how it goes... your going to swap it yourself right? (it's easy)

 

Sorry it took so long to my results on my truck. I changed the iac myself and my truck runs like brand new and that it is fixed i can get my camaro street car back together. Thanks agian for the help.
