I have a 2001 dodge dakota. the truck runs and starts fine. idles fine except when you come to a stop it drops below 500 rpm and stalls
While driving, the Idle air control valve (IAC) fully retracts and you control airflow with the gas pedal. When you come to a stop the computer extends the IAC to let air bypass the throttle plate and maintain idle speed. If the IAC is sticking it sometimes cannot compensate fast enough to avoid a stall. The problem is aggravated by the Air conditioner clutch cycling on while stopping. You don't mention the check engine light so not likely a sensor. If you have a OBDII scanner with live data available you can check the Throttle position sensor easily. You are looking for a smooth change through the range as you press and release the gas pedal. Or use a voltmeter to see the TPS. Measure resistance with engine off or voltage (0 to 5 volts) with ignition on. It should move smoothly through the range.
Another easy test. Park brake on, in gear (if an automatic transmission) at idle, load the engine by turning the steering quickly to the end and see how quickly the IAC recovers. Clean or replace IAC and while in there clean the carbon off of the edges of the throttle plate.
SOURCE: 2001 dodge ram will not idle stalls in lower rpm
its not the fuel filter sounds more like a bad ais motor
SOURCE: 1999 Dodge 1500. Put
the cat is not getting up to temp could be o2 sensor(upstream) or the cat itself
SOURCE: 99 dodge ram 1500 5.2 liter stalling on start up.
I took my 1999 Dodge RAM 1500 Club Cab in for service for a
similar issue. It would run okay for 3-5 minutes, then stall unless I revved
the engine to keep the idle higher. The second it idled lower it stalled. I
thought it might be my alternator.
Anyway, my mechanic found that the mass
airflow sensor was blocked, not allowing enough air to flow. They also found
that the throttle body was gummed up. They cleaned both and it runs fine now
SOURCE: 88 dodge dakota has rough idle and stalls at slow down.
Change/thoroughly clean the idle control solenoid. It may be sticking and causing rough idling.
Cleaning it is unlikely to be more than a short-term solution.
It
can be low fuel pressure issue or clogged fuel pump. Or its engine related
issues,---------------
