#130 of 145 Stalling and missing but cannot find problem by jjwalke1 Sep 17, 2009 (3:07 pm)
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.

Replying to: jjwalke1 (Sep 17, 2009 3:07 pm) 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. Corkscrew

Replying to: randy2931 (May 10, 2009 11:01 pm) 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

#134 of 145 wtf by dale68 Oct 09, 2009 (9:06 pm)
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?

Replying to: james1247 (Oct 11, 2009 3:26 pm) 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.

#139 of 145 '09 5.7L engine stall and will not restart..... by krajicekdodge Nov 14, 2009 (7:05 am)
I have a Ram 1500 '09 5.7L that has stalled out while driving twice now and will not re start right after stalling, but after sitting for a while waiting for the tow truck, it will start. I have had it to a dealer when I was out of town and they could not find anything wrong because it started for them, but they did a software upgrade to a computer mod for better idle performance. Just stalled again last night, same issue. This time it I got it to re start once, then shut if off and it will not start again. Waiting for the dealer to call me this morning - 11/14/09. Anyone else had this trouble? Replies to this message: tistal (Nov 20, 2009 7:11 am) krajicekdodge (Nov 20, 2009 8:56 am) corkscrew (Nov 21, 2009 5:39 am)
