2002 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7L will not stay on

You just go to the link I attached I'm sure you will get the solution of your problem 2002 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 3500 Truck Service Repair Workshop Manual...

What are the rpm's showing at idle. They should be around 750. The idle might be a little low. When you turn it uses more power because of the power steering pump. Let me know how it works out

Hi!!

Did you have the ABS sensors checked ?? The brake fluid level when low also activates the Brake and ABS lights?? Drive truck to an AutoZone store and ask to have computer codes scanned. This is a free service for all customers. This will help you to pinpoint the problem.

Good Luck!!

WELL THE CODES WOULD HELP A LOT BUT IT SOUND LIKE IT MAY BE LOCK UP IN TRANS MAY BE BUT CODES WOULD HELP

Check the ABS sensor on each wheel. Also check all fuses first.

Sounds like crank sensor problem,or fuel pump.

Throttle position senser might be going bad. I had in the same problem in my truck. It wouldn't stay running unless I had my foot on the gas and as soon as I let off, it would die. Try it. The sensers are relatively cheap at Auto Zone or somewhere similar. Around 30 bucks.

The obvious answer is "as short a time as possible". With that said, I usually allow a couple of minutes for fluids to get moving on warm mornings, but up here in Ontario in winter it gets pretty cold some mornings which requires a little extra for defrosting windows etc. I usually try to get moving as soon as it's safe to do so. Idling wastes fuel, contributes to air pollution, and is not good for an engine. Even if you feel better by going easy on the gas for the first few miles, at least your moving.

i had a 99 dodge cummins do about the same thing and mine was the crank position senser located behind the starter,but find out if the code matches that as senser is not cheep.hope this will help you.

check if the fan works first,simple run a wire from the battery post positive to the positve wire on the fan if it starts then it works,next step clip the wires on the fan and conect the ground on good metal and the positive on ur fuse box,but not on any fuse,only on the fuse that turns on with the ignition,.
