Default 04 Ram 1500 HEMI stalls out.

Hello everyone. The issue is I have noticed this a few times. Every time I stop to pull into a parking spot it drops RPM's and and stalls out. After that I start it back up and nothing is wrong. There are no codes or check engine light that pops up. I Just replaced the spark plugs thinking that was the issue but no luck. My next option is possibly the throttle body. I took a look at it when doing the spark plugs and it looked a little gummed up. So I would like some advise on this problem. If anyone else has dealt with this issue and know what to do please drop me a line.

I just recently purchased this truck and already having issues with it. Don't get me wrong it's a good sound truck. It has about 64,000 miles on it and with me being the second owner I want it to be a good truck for my family.

I'd start with cleaning the throttle body, add a couple cans of lucas fuel injector cleaner through it. Air cleaner clean? After that I would check/clean/replace the idle air control (IAC). You can remove the TB to clean it or buy some cleaner and clean the best you can in place.
