Default Truck is still dying ***FIXED***

ok I have done alot of searching and have tried the suggestions on here like:
[ol][*]taking off tb and cleaning well[*]checking for vacuum leak[*]plenum[/ol]
I am still having problems that after the truck is warmed up that it dies when you let off the gas...sometimes. I thought it was gong to be the tb it was pretty dirty but it helped but did not cure the problem.

My question is do you think it could be my IAC even though I am not getting a CEL?

Thanks Brad

Default RE: Truck is still dying

whenI first bought my truck, when I came to stoplights and sat their for a little bit my truck started to die but if i gave it some gas it would fix itself it turned out to be a bad O2 sensor.

Could still be the TPS ... pretty simple (and relatively cheap) fix. O2 sensors ... possible. They can be cleaned as well.

How do you clean O2 sensors?

ddog737374 did you have a CEL on when you changed your O2's?

Thanks Brad

Brake cleaner and a toothbrush. Never had to do it myself (yet) but I've read here that sometimes cleaning them can work instead of replacing them ... but not always.
