my dodge ram k1500 died when i came to a stop at a light yesterday. would not restart at first,after sitting there a while, 5 mins. or more,she started back up,but ran kinda ruff. this morning the truck started up normal, but died in pllace. seems like the truck will start fine when cold, but when the temp comes up the carb. starts gasping for air and will die out. this happened 4 to 5 times before i gave up. could i have a bad control sener for the air or maybe the fuel. thank you

When this happens and it dosn't restart for you, have you checked to see if the engine is getting spark and fuel?
