Hi all,
Recently bought 2003 4.7 Ram. Truck has been a lemon since purchase. Anyway, new problem - drove to hardware store 15 miles away and truck ran good. On the way home, anytime I accelerated above 2000 rpm, the engine just died. Happened 5 times on the way home. As soon as it died, I pulled off the road and tried starting. It would start and die immediately. Let it sit for a minute, starts back up and runs fine. Take off and drives good unless I go over 2000 rpm's.
I have been having the erratic idle once awhile. Cleaned the throttle body previously but didn't clear up. Honestly, the erratic idle doesn't bother me that much but now the engine dying has me concerned. I have not had a chance to pull any codes yet. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
