I have a 1997 dodge 1500 truck. When I stop at a stop sign or if I am going really slow the truck dies. It will start back up with no problems and when I am going at a faster speed it stays running. The check engine light has not come on, so I cannot go to the local auto parts store and get the computer read. I have gave the truck a tune up in the last six months. If anyone has had a similar problem or can tell me what to look for I would be very appreciative. Thank you!

I would recommend starting by checking for vacuum leaks. Also, you may want to check fuel pump pressure and replace the fuel filter if you didn't do it with the tune up.

Here is a how to for checking fuel pump pressure.
