05 Ram issue. Stumble off idle - 03/04/13 03:46 AM
Bare with me guys. I am 300 miles off shore and am only relaying what my wife is telling me
About 3 weeks ago, after I left for work, wife said truck started acting up. In the morning when leaving for work (cold outside), the truck would have a stumble off idle when she pulled out of the driveway. Then it would pick up and all was fine. Now it seems to be happening more frequently, at stop signs, red lights, etc....
About ten days ago, the truck basically died as she was pulling into a parking lot. Strange thing is, she said the truck was still running, but the brakes and steering acted as if the truck had stalled (hard brake and hard steering)
She turned it off, started it back up, and it went back to "normal". She drove it straight to a shop.
Hooked it up to an analyzer, and ended up replacing the EGR valve.
Truck hasn't died since, but the stumble is still there.
What should I be suspecting here? What can I check once I get home HOPEFULLY in 4 days if weather permits
