Default New here with a ??

I have a 1995 Ram Sport that idles smooth and runs down the road fine but when you put in in gear to go either forward or reverse and when you first touch the throttle it sputters and will stall. I have cleaned the throttle body, replaced the iac motor ,checked fuel pressure, checked throttle position sensor, new plugs ,cap, rotor and wires. I have no codes comming up. Can anybody please help me. My son uses this truck for work and school out of town and has been using his twin brothers truck because we just don't trust it to get him home on weekends Please Please help us!!!

the truck is 1500 with a 5.2(318) automatic trans
also the problem only occurs when the truck is warmed up it will not do it when its cold
Thanks you guys in advance Clap

Try disconnecting the neg. battery cable for a few minutes and let the pcm reset. Then drive it for a few miles and see if anything changes.

My son checked again and it came up with a 37 code. Says it is a torc converted selinoind. Would that make any sense? When you have it warmed up and you put it in drive or rev and you lightly tap the throttle it will sputter and stall. Do you guys think that the converter is stalling the motor out. Are these selonoinds located in the tranny.

The info was NOT there in his original post,as you can see he edited it !

You have open or grounded wiring , damaged terminal , or TCC is bad. Correct that problem first, if it still does it then move on to more diagnostics.

I thought mine was caused by a plugged cat since it hasn't done it since. I did a big tune on it too.

Thanks for posting the resolution to the problem! Goes to show how far off the codes can be.
