Heater kills

Jan 09, 2006 5 Replies

When i took my foot off the gas it would die. Went and got some fuel inject cleaner. started the truck and it stayed running. let it run for 10 minutes or so, and then took it for a trip around the block. it ran fine. got home turned on the heater and it died. Turned the heater off and it started fine turned it on, died. The check engine light for the past 2 years or so, has came on whenever i turned the heat on. Any ideas?



Its a 98 dodge ram 1500 4x4 5.2



Thanks, dakota1126


The heater box controls use engine vacume.

Yep. Get a code reader, and find out what codes are being set.

Thanx for the help guys. Found out it was the Throtle Possision Sensor.

And you guys laugh about my spelling.
