Have you checked the throttle position sensor (TPS)? If the computer is not getting a signal from the TPS it the computer will not signal the fuel injectors to deliver fuel.

yank off your throttle body and clean it. there is a small air passage that could be plugged causing a problem. the iac should overcome this, are you sure it's working?

What happends when you let off the throttle? my truck was doing the same thing but when i let off the gas and it went ot idle speed it would stall. Turns out that somehow I had blown the alternator fuse in the fuse box under the hood along with several misc fuses. Went the the dodge dealer with one minute to spare before closing on a friday. It was aroung 12.50 with tax I installed it and ran like a champ except had to buy a fuse so i could have a running instrument cluster to drive the three hours home.

Explain a little better as too when the problem started... did it not work from the day you bought? it or did this just start happening? These guys are good at helping but the need a little more info. It could be a lot of things.
