| Description of the problem | I started to get a rough idle condition on my dodge ram 1500 quad cab with the 5. 7 hemi motor and auto trans. Now intermittently over the past several month the truck stalls when going from reverse to drive... Though not that dangerous an inconvenience. The dangerous part is when i sometimes pull into traffic the truck will start forward as it should then the motor will just die causing loss of brake and steering functions. I am getting no engine codes or check engine light. I have even hooked the truck up to a computer with no codes detected. Recently i went to pull into traffic onto a road that was 35mph and the motor again died. Luckily the driver heading toward my driver side door slammed on their brakes and allowed me to put the truck in neutral restart it and get it out of the other vehicle's lane of travel. The throttle body has been cleaned the spark plugs have been changed with no luck and the problem persists. This is a link to just (1) website of many that i found that shows this is clearly not isolated to my vehicle. Http://www. Carcomplaints. Com/dodge/ram_1500/2005/engine/engine_stalls. Shtml i cannot even begin to diagnose this problem because it is so sporadic with no engine lights or codes it would probably cost a small fortune for a dealer to diagnose this issue because of the amount of time in between the stall conditions. |
