Driving today and i noticed a wierd idol, kept randomly picking times to flux between 800-1200ish and when i was pulling up to my carport and stopped it just cut off on its own. Starts back up no problem and stays on now all gauges are reading normal. Checked plug connections checked air filter and connections and just fulled up today with fuel system treatment hope that might work anyone else had this problem or heard of anything like it?

I was on another dodge site and this has come up. My wife's 04 ram 1500 does the say thing. On the other site the conculsin was that it is a censor.

check plugs/wires, pcv valve, egr valve, clean your throttle body. thats where i would start.

My guess is it could be the throttle body.

I had an International truck at work, and a Ford F250 do the same thing not too long ago.
