1996 Ram 1500 Stalling
1996 Ram 1500 5.9L 4wd
hey so I bought a truck off craigslist, I was driving it home, it had under 1/4 tank and at the first red light it stalled, it started right back up and we went to the gas station I put 35$ in and we got home. Today I took it out for a drive and I let it warm up for a minute and at the first 2 red lights I came too it would stall when I stop and rolling slowly, I got to my hockey game and went to start it up after and it was idiling fine like usual, on the drive back it stalled once when I was going about 25kph.
and 1 other problem my gas gauge also fluctuates when I go up hill, and also when I’m just driving I’m flat ground, when I step on it the gas gauge moves down to almost empty and goes back to a quarter tank after a minute or two.
anyone know what it could be, I’m thinking fuel pump or o2 sensor

My '96 Ram 1500 5.2 had an issue with random stalling after the engine warmed up and I had no codes from the PCM. Sometimes it would start right back up and sometimes I had to wait for the engine to cool. After much troubleshooting and frustration, I found the crank sensor to be the culprit, no problems since.
