I have a 1996 Ram 1500 - 5.2 - auto trans - 125K miles. This problem just started happening today. I have only had the truck a few weeks and it is the first day of damp weather. Anyway after runninmg about 5 minutes I stopped and went into a store for a few minutes. When came out and started the truck everything seemed OK. Tac at 500 rpms idle. I put truck in gear. Proceed to go. Stop for a stop sign and the tac drops to about 200 rpms and then adjusts up to 500 rpm. I go stop again and this time it drops to 200 rpm then stalls. It seems that as long as I have my foot on gas it's Ok but when I take my foot off to brake, the rpms drop and either stalls or almost and adjusts up to 500 rpm idle.
It also sounds like I have an exhaust leak but it's been there since I bought the trruck. I also have a check engine code of P0135 (o2 sensor). Could the cat or sensor be doing this? Fuel filter or pump? Possible wires b/c of dampness? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
