My 99 dodge ram 5.2 V8 started dying while driving but would crank back up. Then it started taking a little while before it would crank back up. Now it's been sitting for 2 months and won't start. I had someone come put it on the computer and they said the ASD and idle air control valve. Changed both of those and still nothing.

I don't know if it will be helpful information but I used the fuel rail to remove some of the gas and it was full of air bubbles.

Was it soon after filling it up? Could be as simple as bad fuel.

It did it no matter where I got fuel. It's been dying while driving for a while but gradually got worse. I should have put in my post that it has over a half a tank of gas but acts like it's out of gas.
