Q: at idle there is a small gap between the throttle blade and the inside of the throttle body to allow air into the engine to keep running. sometimes this gap gets alot of deposits on it so that when you stop and the blade closes the engine dosnet get any air to keep it running so the engine stalls just like a fire take away the air it dies the automatic idle speed motor compensates for that but sometimes just isnt fast enough to allow air in. so by taking the air cleaner off engine not running get a toothbrush and some type of gumcutter/throttle body cleaner open the throttle by hand and clean out the inside of the bore and the blade at the point where the blade rests at idle. dont drop the tooth brush into the intake manifold on fri 14 jan 2005 193213 -0500 maxpower damnnickname@yahoo.com wrote it could be something easy as a dirty throtte body try cleaning it out. the blade and the inside bore glenn can you explain it a little bit more thank you very much. i glenn beasley chrysler tech 1999 dodge ram about 55000 miles 5.9l engine. today was a cold morning about 5f. i drove to the train station and was parking my pickup. engine was warm by this time. i backed out of the parking spot a bit and then put my truck in forward at which point the engine stopped. i was able to turn the key off and restart it instantly so no big trouble. i would like to know what may cause this behavior. thanks i -- .
