96 Ram 1500 5.2, will cut out randomly when driving. It doesn't miss, it just cuts out and sometimes will come back to life, other times it will stall and not restart for 10 minutes or so. Not fun when you're stuck in an intersection like I was about 20 minutes ago...Was on the phone with AAA and it fired back up and I got her home.
This goes back about a year. Don't drive the truck much but have done some work to it but nothing has fixed the issue. I posted a thread a while back on here and the consensus was crank sensor. Replaced that with an OEM Mopar unit and no change. Last week I took it out of the garage and let it idle in the driveway. By the time I came out the truck was off and would not restart. I did not hear the pump prime (even when jumping the relay) so assumed fuel pump and just finished installing a new Delphi pump this morning. Obviously still have the issue.
What else can I look at here? IAC/TPS, possible ECM replacement? Any help would be appreciated.
What it does is just cut out when driving. The engine comes down to idle speed and throttle input doesn't do anything. Very weird feeling actually. The truck is still running, but foot to the floor does nothing. Most of the time after about 5-10 seconds it will jump back to life and I'm on my way, but lately its been stalling and not restarting for some time.
