99 Dodge issues
I have a 99 dodge ram with a 5.9 and its just a winter driver, today I tried to start it and it fired right up but sounded weak and gasping for air. Wouldnt really idle then when I gave it gas it just dies and takes a while for it to start back up again. When vehicle is started sounds like its puffing for a big breath. Not sure what it could be. I hear the fuel pump. Is there a way to test it out or anyone have ideas?

You've confirmed fuel for the most part, make sure there's spark. Then see why it's not getting air. Probably faulty iac witch you can test by taking it off the back off throttle body, with connector on it turn the key to on but not run and verify the plunger moves, idk if it's all the way in or out. I think in. Or download the manual in the stickys. Also read the end all plenum thread.

If it's covered in sludge then more then likely the channel for it is also clogged/sludged. It's gunna be stiff, only time it'll move is if you leave it plugged into the connector and turn key on engine off, should move to verify it's not stuck.
I'd pull the throttle body and clean the channel at the back of the intake where the iac channel meets the intake manifold, along with throttle body and ports.
