Forgive me if this has been addressed and solved but I did some general digging and found nothing relatable.
02 4.7 Ram 1500. It started off being reeeaaalllyy hesitant when I would accelerate and I would have to lift off the pedal, then slowly go back on it before it gave me any power, otherwise if I stayed down, it would take about 2 seconds then launch like Elon Musk's rocket.
Soon after it started having really rough idle issues. If I was stationary too long it would chug a lot, drop below 500rpm, then boost itself to 1250, down to 1000, then repeat until it eventually choked itself and shut off. Turned right back on and would do it again about 30-45 seconds later.
I let it sit for a few weeks while I just used my other car. Started it back up recently to test drive it cause I missed it and it would shut off if my foot was not on the throttle while moving. It shut off twice as soon as i let off the throttle and let the RPMs drop. Almost hit my neighbors mailbox. Parked it, came here. Fuel issue? Sensor? Really need this truck fixed. I'm Not a mechanic, but if pointed in a general direction, I can do it. Any help would be great, or at least point me in the right direction to a related post. Thanks.
