Noob needing a little help from the car gods
I have a 2001 Ram 1500 that out of no where began stalling when I would take my foot of the gas (Thank god it happened right in front of my house). I drove around the block and like clockwork it stalled every time I took my foot of the gas. Then the following day it started up and ran fine. I have always been interested in learning how to make by own repairs but have never had the guts to touch anything under the hood, until now. So I went out and bought the Chilton manual and am determined to see if I can fix this myself. From reading other threads I am guessing that the issue may be the IAC or the throttle needs to be cleaned. Any help would be most appreciated.

IAC most likely, check the DIY section above on how to clean it and the TB and TPS. Even if you decide to replace the IAC (which is the prob most likely) you should still clean the TB and TPS.
