I'm just bummed at my luck with purchases lately. Seems I have to return everything at least once!
Think someone forgot to program the idle speed into it.

I have seen more problems with PCMs having to be exchanged on these Rams and other vehicles as well. Seems people think these are more problematic than they are.
You might also want to be safe and check the grounds. I even found several more on my truck today that I did not know was there...low on the driver side inner fender near the radiator support - about 8 wires going to it. A loose ground to a circuit in the PCM could possily cause a malfuntion in the PCM. Loose grounds can also cause the engine to die.

OK, I changed the crank position sensor, the cam position sensor and, for good measure, went ahead and put in new plugs, wires, dist cap, rotor, and coil. Put about 60 miles on it with no problem.
Today, coming into work, it shut off again. Same deal. It shuts off, won't start up until about a minute/minute and a half later and then runs fine.
What's next....replace PCM? I found places where I can get refurbished ones for about $350 with warrenty.
Guess I'll just keep throwing money at it since it's not giving me any codes or hints as to what's causing this.
