Stalling and getting hot - 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD

Could be a bad ignition coil or the TFI module that controls the coils' circuits.

tuned up is it, (spark parts, filters?)
stalls? hot and cold or only cold.
or due to stalling cold can never get engine hot to 180F.?
there are over 50 causes, the tests are 10x less.
1: can you save the stall with a fast right foot.???????
and what size engine?

hot or cold engine or both?





which engine, to work on one, you need to know what it is

and what EFI system it uses. or its all just a crap shoot.

no new distributor cap and rotor why skip the full tune up,. why?



first questions.

1: can you save the stall with a a fast right foot.

2: why change out pump etc, if fuel pressure is at spec, a $20 tool would have saved you 5 hours hard labor and bath in fuel? why?





Stalls 101.:



the engine can stall for over 50 reasons are you going to do all 50?

surely not. why not consider diagnosis.. as a path.

1: car stalls, right foot saves it. and can drive fast if i keep foot busy.

a: ISC stuck closed.

b: EGR valve stuck open (depends on which engine options)

c: low compression on one or more cylinders.

2: can\'t save it from stalling (right foot)

a: fuel pressure is low. (wires bad.)

b: lost spark, for any reasons.

c: lost 12vdc to the EFI system( killing spark and fueling)



stalls.

hot or cold or both

stalls, can save it or not, hot and cold

hot restarts are easy and it runs good hot,yes./no.



there is lots more to it, then just stalls. lots more.

reg codes only work in UK, use real years..... so ROTW can tell.
please, tell what it does good and bad driving, idling , parked, moviing
hot and cold engine, full power from engine on hills.
stalling (it stalls) but when does it stall, under what conditions. hot or cold engine. only at stop lights hot. or>????
when an engine is cold the RPM is very high (iAC device) and it will not stall cold , if it does that is key.
if it never stalls hot. and runs perfect hot say so.
all these, clues build evidence. to what is wrong.
then we do tests.
PS: ever think to get that 60,000 mile (100km) tuneup>> now be it.

Change the thermostat in it, You over heat it real bad ,There a chance of the motor seazing up, Allso is the water pump working, Or there could be a blockage, That is causeing it to over heat.

Vapor Lock in the carburettor - it gets so hot that the gasoline vaporizes and blocks the flow. Insulate it better.

These re known for head gasket failures when at operating temp. should do a compression check hot and cold.

you might want to have the fuel pump tested for pressure

the firsrst thing to check is a FUEL-VAPOR LOCK and evap system esp[ecially the fuel cap and running the A/C can cause relays to get hot and check fuel pump relay and filther and last fuel pressure

If the engine stalling occur when the engine is hot the most probable cause is a vapor lock, this is when gas boils before it reach the engine, when the engine is extremely gets hot, the gas boils and an air bubble is formed which causes the air/fuel mixture to be too lean, too much air and not enough gasoline, thus making the engine to stall. When you experience vapor lock, just let the engine cools down, have a mechanic to check your cooling system it might cause the engine to get extremely hot.
