Post subject: 98 Ram 5.2 Occasionally Dies While Driving

Hi,

My 98 RAM 1500 5.2 4X4 w/Auto Trans. occasionally dies when I am driving and remove my foot from accelerator. NO check engine light occurs. As Im still rolling, I pop it into neutral and it starts right up Every time. If I am going at a very slow roll and remove my foot from the accelerator and watch the tac. sometimes the tac. just about bottoms out and then rebounds, like it wants to stall. I have already tried fuel line additive and replaced plugs, cap/rotor, and all plug wires to try and correct this intermittent issue ...but no luck. Can you please help me troubleshoot this intermittent issue.

Thanks,
Ken

Replaced Idle Air Control unit ( only 30 bucks at AUTOZONE) and the issue appears to be corrected Very Happy .
