With that you should have a code reading as something helpful should be stored even if without a light on.

Look for obvious problems too,

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try eliminating any vacuum leaks and cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.

Just adding a another thing to the already helpful information provided from the other outstanding moderators on this site.

It's important that on any Dodge around that year the battery is good and the battery's connections are clean and tight. The SBEC is sensitive to voltage and a bad connection or battery on start up can cause the PCM memory to get erased. When the memory gets erased, it will stall on start up until the PCM learns idle control.





Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
