This started out a few ago only stalling out when making turns a few times, engine stalls no breaks no engine lights no steering. put in neutral or park restarts no problem. No computer codes were brought up runs great starts but just stalls seemed like a fluke bad gas just put high to mid grade no help
 
Now a few months later engine has stalled at speeds 20-75 mph this time not turning just driving like before no brakes, steering, the radio & dash lights work will work fine while this happens put have to put in neutral or park starts up normal runs normal no hesitation or sluggishness just will die on while driving Im in florida the weather is warm its happen on cools days and days you could boil an egg in!
 
It did it again today crazy thing I had 2 kids in truck doing 50 engine cut out had no control over truck since no breaks and no steering when this happens almost hit a sign and a car?
 
No luck with dealer here as showing no issues and of course doesnt do it when they drive it but this is a truck my wife drives and she is very scared to drive it now and dont blame he much after my experience any one whom could help with answer?

Stalling and missing but cannot find problem by jjwalke1

i am having a problem with my 95 dodge ram stalling when i backup and start forward and let off the gas. It is also missing in overdrive at approx. 1200 rpms. I have replaced the fuel pump, indexed the timing, new plugs, wires, and distributer cap, new map sensor, new O2 sensor, new throttle body position sensor, and cleaned all fuel injectors. I thought the exhaust might be backing up and disconnected it and drove it around. I also have sprayed ether looking for a vacuum leak. I am at wits end as is my dad(mechanic) and 2 other shops. Its been hooked up to computers and wont even throw up a code. Any ideas out there as to what is wrong. Could it be a computer problem or maybe the transmission.

Check battery voltage. With the engine running, you should get 14volts +/- 0.2V at the battery terminals.A battery that is 3 years old or older should be suspected as the PCM is very sensitive to low battery voltage even when the engine starts normally.
  Another possibility is the auto shutdown relay circuit. Although I would expect to see a fault code 42 in this case.

It's most likely your IAC. I had the same problem on my 2003 Dodge RamVan 5.2L. I thought it might be the fuel pump, glad I researched a bit and saved myself around 250 dollars. You should be able to buy an IAC for around 43 dollars at most auto parts stores. The van kept stalling at red lights or when I took my foot off the gas pedal, it got progressively worse. Heres a link on the web that helped me out. http://www.justanswer.com/questions/1qcde-1998-dodge-ram-stalls-unless

installed a rebuilt 5.2lt in my 99' dodge 1500, got everything back together, did a pre fire inspection, everything looked good, went to fire it, no fuel pump. started to try and find problem and realized we weren't getting spark either. went through all electrical connections, confirmed they where all good. even cleaned all connections with contact cleaner, unhooked and sprayed all computer connections with contact cleaner. cap and rotor where replaced during this process. switched asd relay with other simular relay in pcm, no luck!! i wonder if the cps is at fault? how do you reset the asd? anybody have any suggestions?

i read in my haynes manual that if your fuel filter is plugged, or partially plugged, you'll get enough fuel for the truck to run, and it will have enough pressure so the computer doesn't realize there's a problem, but you won't have enough volume to run the vehichle at driving speed. maybe try a fuel line cleaner or try idling it up for a extended period of time and see if it stalls. if it does maybe your filter is partially plugged. just a thought, good luck.
