On colder mornings, even just 45 degrees, my daughters car stalls out. This only happens in the cold. She lets it warm up first, then backs out of the driveway, puts it in drive and thats when it stalls. It starts right back and she is able to make it to her destination. Once it stalled at a stop light. what are your thoughts?
It sounds like a dodgy fuel pump to me!

I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 with 5.7 Hemi and it was running dead somethimes. I had a fuel system service performed on it and it cured it.

Try the simple stuff first and ask yourself these questions:
How old are the spark plugs? (I think this is 90% gaurenteed the problem)
Is the car getting enough air through the filter?
Is the filter dirty? (replace if so)
If not you might need your idle advanced a little.

Check your fuel pressure, and EGR valve and sensor. Doesnt sound like a spark problem since it starts right back up. You can go to Kragen and check and get a fuel pressure test kit.

Man you have a lot of things to check out. You really need to start out by getting a computer scan done on your truck. Diesels are not what they use to be, and there are to many things to look at. My initial thoughts are that you have a bad injector, but if you are not mechanicaly skilled this is not a job for you. Please save your self the head ache and get the scan done by a reputable dealer or mechanic not the cheapo parts store. It could be anything from a dirty filter or line to a injector.
If you get the scan done and then its something you can do your self, go for it. I have told my friends if they want to buy a diesel, which I am not against at all. If they want me to work on them they have to buy the scanning tool for it because finding the problem takes for ever.
Once you get the scan done then let me know and I can help you more.
