In the morning it will crank and turn over but will die. It has gotten worse as we have gotten into winter. Once it has been started and ran for the drive to work it starts fine the rest of the day, but after sitting over night it returns. I have new O2 sensors, tps, iac. Any ideas?? (I have rev and keep rpm's to about 1500 for 6 or 7 minutes and slowly let it down and it will idle but has to idle a lil while longer or will die while coming to a stop.
Problems staying running

You mentioned the O2 Sensors were replaced and you have rough Idle, I would give that thread a look and see if it is Plenum time.

When I did mine I had $130 in the kit then you have to figure on coolant for the whole system.
There is a guy on ebay who sells plates he has lasered himself. DodgeDude94 knows more about his parts/quality I would hit him up about it. I just ordered the Kit from Hughes.
It can be done in a day if you stay at it and don't have any problems.

That's what it is here to the degree. just throw a tarp over her and stuff a salamander in there with you

I was lucky enough that mine went bad in June, but i was out burping my coolant system last night so i know the suck.

Judging by your symptoms, have you cleaned your throttle body and IAC valve/passage lately? It's sounding as if, while the engine is cold, the IAC isn't opening enough to get hte engine to idle.
As for the plenum plates, last I heard, that eBay seller (and modded Magnum enthusist) isn't cutting plates anymore for some reason.
He put out a good product at a good price too, which is a shame. So the only one making plates that I know of is Hughes. APS used to make plates, but I dunno if they're still operating.

APS used to make plates, but I dunno if they're still operating.I replaced the IAC and cleaned the TB, but I do need to remove it and clean it properly and completely. yea that is a shame he stopped selling them, its hard to find good quality parts. thanks ill check the battery and alternator.
