Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / April 2006Engine RPM goes to zero when releasing accelarator pedal
Please Helpl! My 1995 Dodge Ram dies frequently when slowing down while approaching stops. The engine RPM goes to zero and then the engine dies. Sometimes the engine RPM goes to zero then returns to normal. What's UP??? Sounds like possibly stuck or sticking IAC module (Idle Air Control motor). Location is on the back of the throttle body. >Please Helpl! My 1995 Dodge Ram dies frequently when slowing down >while approaching stops. The engine RPM goes to zero and then the >engine dies.

Do you have info on this sensor causing this problem? > Thanks! I'll check it out. I found out later today that it could also > possibly be the Throttle Position Sensor.

The OP probably has a 6 cyl. He's probably got a broken baffle in the fuel tank. He's probably never going to do anything more than pop the hood and poke at a few hoses, maybe take off the air cleaner, take a gander down into the radiator......then say fk it....he'll git it checked someday. probably. not likely. but..... definately, possibly, probably. ~:~ marsh ~wonders if he oughta crack the seal on that other bottle this evening.....proba~ > My Dodge RAM is not a diesel.

The Cummins diesel used in the Dodge Ram does have a TPS. Roy > ~:~ > marsh > ~loves an informative queery~ > >> Thanks! I'll check it out.

Do you have info on this [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > marsh > > ~loves an informative queery~ ========= ========= well.....now we're getting somewhere. It's not a diesel, but it might have a tps if it was. see how easy it is to get all the pertenent info needed to diagnose a symptom. why hell...... i figure by the end of the thread....... we should know which engine he has.......... an maybe.......which model it is too........................ ~:~ marsh ~is practicing for his dental liscense~ I have a 5.2 Liter V8 Dodge RAM 1500 1/2 Ton. Hope this helps. By the way, I did change out the TPS today and so far today the engine has not died. It also seems to have made the transmission less troublesome. It was "chattering" alot during acceleration at slow speeds and was having problems going from 2nd to 3rd gear often. > I have a 5.2 Liter V8 Dodge RAM 1500 1/2 Ton. Hope this helps.
