Stalling under 1000 rpms doesn't sound like fuel pressure or Cat to me. Under 1000 rpms is when you need the least fuel or exhaust flow. Sounds to me like a vacuum leak, problems with the idle air control valve, or possibly a bad O2 or MAP sensor. 1. Check for codes. I have people say there were no codes because the check engine light was burned out. 2. Look for obvious vacuum leaks. If it is a Magnum engine ram check for oil in the intake by looking through the open throttle blades. A common vacuum leak is when the intake pan gasket fails but it usually includes a little smoking. 3. Then start checking for Fuel Pressure, CAT back pressure, etc. My Hope it helps.

It starts instantly. This is the first time it has ever acted like this. When it stalls, it starts back up like all is normal.
bad iac would probably be the answer then. take it out and look at it. see if it moves properly. it would reset to a different level at idle vs coming down from high speed.

Easy way to check if the intake pan gasket is leaking is to take the dipstick out and check for vacuum on the tube. It does sound like a vacuum leak problem to me. Also have had low trans fluid cause stalling on the trucks
