I just bought a 1994 dodge ram 1500 4x4 w 171,000miles. My intentions are simple, fix it up right. Although When I accelerate and then let off the gas, the RPMs drop so low that it dies. Then it takes a moment to start it back up. Is this a electrical/wiring problem or should i be looking at the fuel filter/pump. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Suggested Repair

Service and clean the throttle bore and the idle air control (IAC) motor, then recheck idle after letting off the throttle.
