My truck will not stay running. Its okay going down the road and as soon as i come to a stop it dies. When I start it in the morning i have to keep my foot on the gas to keep it running. Please help.

i would say start with the IAC. one that is malfunctioning has all your symptoms. are you getting an SEL light??

leolkfrm · 12-08-2008, 08:27 AM

sounds like that or maybe a vac leak EGR, split hose, hose off, broken plastic do-dad

leo, i have been lookin for a part number for the uhhh, plastic do-dad. can you shoot that number over my way??

leolkfrm · 12-08-2008, 03:35 PM

do you want the one for the front or rear of the engine?

bradrhale · 12-08-2008, 03:38 PM

the engine?? i thought you were talking about the tranny.

i still think that the problem is going to be the IAC. but you could have it right as a vac leak.

If he was tinkering he might have knocked something off, remember when everthing was hose and metal fittings for vac
