Brother in law's truck. He says it quits at a stop maybe once every 40 times. No codes. Always starts right back up.

He's in Ft. Worth so i can't see the truck physically but am trying to help. I'm not a Dodge-em guy so seeing if anyone here is..

Any ideas?

IAC if it has one would be my first guess, since a dirty one wont throw a code.

The newer stuff is very sensitive to a dirty throttle body. These newer 'advanced' computers aren't smart enough to open the IAC valve (or throttle blade if it's drive-by-wire) a little more to compensate for a dirty TB.
