Dodge ram pickup 1988 runs good, starts good, but vibrates strong and then engine cuts off every time I come to a stop, have to re crank to go on. Had 2 different fuel pumps on it already, no help. Can you help me?

Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Have you checked the ISC actuator? Have you checked it for trouble codes?

Before I try to answer that, tell me. Do you have the truck at home where you can get to it?

No it's at the Dodge Place. They Are looking into the ECM - It's under the Driver side front fender the truck was wrecked on that side and repaired but same ECM unit was put back in the finfer well. So I'm not sure they have a way of cking to see if ECM unit is ok or not. Thanks for all you help. Blessings
