Default 96 ram stalls randomly

I just got a 96 ram with a 5.2 it runs good but randomly stalls. When it happens I have to wait for a minute then it will start up and run good. It has happened both times when I turned left going under 30mph

My 1995 5.9 does the same thing have you checked the codes? I replaced the disributor cap wires sparks and ran good but I think mines in limp mode there was barley any fluid in Trans and code 37 pops up so connector was dirty To O/D switch in transmission best to check IAC ,Cap rotor sparks and wires I wish I did that before replacing everything so far that's all it needed hope it helps and I have a website for correct spark wiring it works great I'll post soon but check those first and fluid then codes

Under the drivers side door look right on frame looks like black cylinders I'm not sure on the exact way but I took the hoses off mine made sure they were not clogged that's where the fuel goes thru and filter thru a charcoal system the filter in it can not be replaced and it can't be open if you disconnect it get a Air hose and cover opening and blow air thru one and let it blow all that dirt and grime out if it does blow Air replace it
