Default SUrges & stalls


I have an 03 1500 w/ 4.7. Recently began rpm surging and eventually stalls when stopped or coming to a stop, sometimes does it, sometimes don't , no check engine light..... Bad TPS ????

Check to see if its throwing and DTC's at the odometer, or get it scanned. If its a TPS, it will throw a code

My 03 4.7 did that pulling into my driveway (couple sharp turns at low speed followed by braking to a stop, usually resulted in a "lurch" and a stall or near stall.) Turned out there was a PCM flash fix for it... but noticed a MAJOR drop in fuel mileage afterward...

Maybe a good reason to look into a Superchip programmer

I'd try a good TB cleaning first.

yea same thing here too it hasn't stalled in a long time but it just feels like it wants too. i got a 2002 with the 4.7 great engine, but i dont notice it as much once it has warmed up and done a couple of miles. but im going to try some sea foam this weekend and see if that helps and clean the tb, and maybe that will help i will let ya know once done and if any results

Ok, I have an 03 QC 1500. Does the same thing. Not to sound stupid, but, what is the TB?
