Default Engine Stalling

2003 Ram 1500 QC intermittently stalls when stopping. 25000 Miles. Any ideas?

You might start by checking your fuel pressure, no gaurantee that its where the problem is but it is a good place to start. I think there is a manual for 3rd gen trucks that you can download that should have the pressure spec.

You might try a tune up, with new plugs. Maybe a fuel injector cleaner. I really think it's the tune up though. Hope this helps.

Are there any PCM update flashes for your engine? You might check with the dealer. I used to have a similair issue with my Neon, and luckily I worked at the dealer and just flashed it after work. After the flash I never had a problem like it again.

Check to see if there are any CPU flashes for your truck. You can usually call and find out.

I'd also consider cleaning the throttle body as well. Many times the IAC can get a little gunked up and from the amount of miles on it, you must not drive it alot or do a lot of city driving.

Since you are close to 30K miles a plug change will not hurt one bit, I'd do it if the TB cleaning doesn't cure it.
