96 Ram 1500 Engine Died In Idle When Hot - I had a pretty similar problem with my 96 ram 1500 5.2 magnum and it was the thermostat. thermostat was corroded and open, engine was hard to restart,ideled bad and died. hope it helps you
it will run fine until it gets up to 180 degrees then starts running rough and dies. then i try to start it back up but it lopes real bad and dies again. It wont run good until it cools back down. I have replaced crank sensor, cam sensor, throttle positioning sensor, heat sensor, map sensor and oxygen sensors. i have replaced all plugs wires coil and distributor cap and every thing under the cap. Its getting good spark. I put a fuel pressure gauge on it and i am getting 50 psi so i think fuel is not a problem. I just need some help on what it could be.
