Subject: '93 Dakota stalling
IP: Logged

Message:
I have a '93 Dakota CC V6 auto 4x4 and it has 174,000 miles on it. The problem is that sometimes after it sits for a while, like 8 hours or more, sometimes it stalls coming to a stop. The truck starts perfectly fine and drives fine until I get to that first stop. The tach drops way down and it will die. I have stopped it from dieing by putting it in neutral coming to the stop and keeping the rpms up. I try keeping it in second and drive and it always dies. Eventually, after a while, it will be fine. I drive the highway a lot, so the problem I notice with it most of the time when the dieing happens is that I get up on the highway and go about 65 and I have no Overdrive. It is running really fast. Eventually, overdrive kicks in and everything is fine after that. No dieing at all, until it sits for the day or night again. It doesn't do it everytime, but a lot. It is almost like it is in a "safe" mode or something.

Any ideas

Thanks

First thing to do is get some carb cleaner/throttle body cleaner and spray it inside your throttle body- sometimes the idle air valve gets gummed up and causes this, it's the easiest thing to try first
