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?

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.
