Background: '96 Ram 2500 V10. Just got the truck a week ago and I'm not sure how long it sat unused before that. Tags are fresh as is smog. I don't think it was sitting to long.

So a funny thing happened on the way to church today.....
I know, sounds like the start of a bad joke but it's not. It's the kind of funny that makes you look at the dash. I pulled up to the stop sign and the truck about died on me, twice. Now I have not had a chance to look things over in the daylight and it did not do it on the way home under the similar conditions. I've read about plug wires, intake gaskets and, fuel pumps being issues. Being it only happened twice in a row then gone the rest of the time, can it be something like a A/C clutch, or alt. high load? It acted almost as if the IAC shut all the way for a second. Any of this sound like something I should be concerned about or just factor it up to the truck not being driven in awhile.

 

See if the PCM has any codes stored, or pending. Probably wouldn't hurt to clean the throttle body. How does it run otherwise?

 

Hopefully a code was sent. Does this happen at Idle or while driving?

 

Sorry I'm a month behind, time flys. Anyway it has not done it again and maybe it was me getting to know the truck. The downshifts and engine sounds are different then any other vehicle I've had and that maybe what is throwing me off. The only codes stored right now are a 15 (batt. disconnect with in 50 cycles) & 17 (Engine too cold after 8 mins). I don't think those have an impact on it's hic-up. I did move around a few plug wires after. That seemed to help. Right now I'm trying to hunt down a factory air tube for it. Mine got lost before I got her. So, if any of you have one hit me up. I can't post to the market place yet so word of mouth is the best I have right now. (#10) I plan to pull the TB off next filler change and give it a good cleaning. Or at least the IAC. All depends on how much I want to play with the linkages.
Anyway, thank you all for the input. It is appreciated.
