Could the fuel pump be going out? I've heard of the fuel pump going out. i thought when they go out they're out..... could this cause the misfires & stalls??? could internal fuel filter be clogged? wish this would be fixed just sick of replacing parts that r not fixing problem..... any ideas guys??

It's possible. Need to check pressure. If it is low, it will make it run rather strange.

hi guys I'm with a update... I replaced PCM which was bad. But is still stalling in drive randomly.... I also replaced TPS & map & temp sensor... Still stalling no codes... Dodge has had it four times & of course they cant get it to stall... Im really at a loss throwing part at it has cost me over 2k.... I cant afford to spend anymore unless one here has anything else for me to check???? When it dies cranks in pcm are no longer getting reset to zero which told me the pcm was bad but something else is still wrong..... please help & if anyone here is colorado maybe you can help I'm completely lost with this problem. Ive just about replaced everything on the truck..... thanks john

How old is the front O2 sensor? Have you cleaned your throttle body? Done anything with the IAC motor?

@John: Have you reset the PCM, so it will learn the new parts? (basically, disconnect it for five minutes or so, or, disconnect battery, turn on headlights, turn off headlights, hook battery back up.)
