Default Stalling out 5.9

I recently purchased a 97 Ram with a 5.9 360. When i let off the gas or come to a stop my truck stalls. I checked and cleaned the IAC the TPS the Map Sensor and did a vacume check. I am out of options and stumped. Anyone have any ideas?

Cleaning the IAC does not always help. Sometimes they are just no good and need replace. Don't cheap out if you decide to replace it. And when you did the cleaning, was the negative battery cable disconnected?

Yep. The neg was disconected. Tested the IAC with a ohm meeter and it was within the right readings so it should be good...

Should, is the key word here. I don't want to spend your money, but like I said, it could still be bad. And , the crank sensor is also in question. I had a similar issue with stalling when I stopped. It eventually got worse. Replaced the crank sensor and problem went away. It's up to you to spend the money though.
