Engine Mechanical problem
1998 Other Dodge Models Four Wheel Drive Automatic 130000 miles

I have a 1998 Dodge 1500 4x4 with a 5.2L engine. Recently my truck was stolen and the thieves ran the truck out of gas. After filling the gas tank up the engine will stall when idling. It remains running when giving the gas pedal a push but as soon as i take my foot off the gas it stalls again. After the truck was recovered i also had a new ignition put in.

Hi:
If there is no engine light, I would look for vacuum leaks.
