...strange idle? My 2003 Dodge ram 1500 5.7L(hemi) Quad Cab is still stalling after just spending 1600$ in the shop. They put 2 new fuel injectors, replaced the a/c, gave it a tune up, a transmission flush, and other small things. Im thinking fuel pump? Itll randomly stall so far its happened in park and drive. WHEN IT STALLS YOU HAVE NO IDEA IT HAPPENED OTHER THAN NOTICING THE DECELERATION(RADIO STAYS ON, A/C STAYS ON, LIGHTS STAY ON, DASH IS STILL LIT UP, THE TRUCK JUST DIES)When in drive itll stall randomly with no real set speed(itll happen whether going 70 or 30). The idiots at the shop cant figure it out....please help.To be more specific about whats happening ill take you through a situation thats happend to me...Im going 80 mph when i SLOWLY come down to about 30 and it stalls while rolling, i put it in neutral while rolling(its an automatic transmission), turn it on,and put it in drive and go. The car is ALWAYS able to start up right after stalling.

Ive got a list together of what could be doing this:
Bad or dirty Idle air control valve
Bad throttle position sensor
Dirty throttle body
Clogged or dirty PCV valve
Fuel Pump
Bad temperature sensor


Thats not the only problem.... when its in park the truck will randomly rev itself as if trying to stay alive. Last time it was just slowly revving itself from 700 to 1100 RPMS. It wasnt a rough rev just slowly back and forth,up and down through 700-1100. Sometimes the truck will start shaking when it goes below 500 and just die.PLEASE HELP!!
 
Cam position sensor. Located on rear of passengers side head against the fire wall.


Traced that booger for three days till I found it.

Same symptoms as yours
