Have a 1988 dodge power ram 150 and it wont stay runing but when it does run it sounds good. The motors bin rebuilt, new starter coil, new brain and fuel pump. What can be wrong?

When does it stall? If it stalls when coming up to a stop sign because it's idling too low, it probably hasn't relearned "minimum throttle" after the battery was reconnected. Until that happens, the Engine Computer won't know when it must be in control of idle speed.

To meet the conditions for the relearn to take place, drive at highway speed with the engine warmed up, then coast for at least seven seconds without touching the brake or gas pedals.
