rough start
I have a 2001 ram 1500 sometimes when I go to start it, it begins to run rough like it is off timing and then it dies, do a restart and it runs ok, it has done this a few times when I come to a traffic signal. it just starts running rough and the stalls. has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it.

Re: rough start
Thank you for your input, someone had said it could be Idle air solenoid, could this be cleaned also?

Re: rough start
Yep, its easy to get at and remove once you get the air box off. I would check the condition of your spark plugs, thats what caused my truck to idle/run rough and stall. I just updated my last thread, about just that.
