I need some assistance, doing some research on why my 2011 RAM stalls out on me at stop lights. Its random and I wanted to know if anyone has run into this issue and what they did to fix it. Thank you

You may want to check this out, it was the first thing that i found online

a dirty or failing idle air control valve causing your engine idle to fluctuate. ... When this happens, the job of the idle air control valve is to bring this deceleration down to a slow and smooth idle rather than suddenly cutting off the fuel supply causing the motor to die

I think that your throttle body is dirty

My friend had a 2014 with the same problem. The dealer couldn’t figure it out. They offered him a trade and he took the deal. He spent a lot of money without results.

Any of the above may be the cause, please be sure to share the fix so it can be passed on.

You didn't say which motor is in your 2011 RAM so it's a little hard to give advice.

Is it a 3.7L V6, a 4.7L V8 or the 5.7L HEMI?
