OK...next question on this...(Been thinking about it some more)
Let's go back to the basics for a second: He's replaced the sensors, IAC,
had a tech scan the computer (analyze it), changed fuel pump and sock, and
it still dies at idle. Has anyone checked the preset screw on the TB yet?
I know that the IAC controls the idle...but if the blades are too far
closed...it will stall. (Found that one out the hard way...was playing
around with the screw a long time ago.)
Just another idea on this...

Great explanation Bob. Problem with intermittent symptoms is you gotta have
continuous scanning or just wait until the part fails entirely. Pain in the
rear. With our technology today one would think our trucks would be a lot
smarter than that. Unfortunately, still playing catch up.
One good example of that. The 2001's have the AC controls that have a
separate button that turns the AC off and on. That allows you to use any
combination of vents and still run the AC. So I figure, hey, that's what I
want. Since 2000 controls are vertical and the '01's are horizontal I
figured I'd have to replace a portion of the dash to do it. No prob,
right?! Wrong! Looking behind the dash on a 2001 and the AC controls,
guess what? It's a mini-PCM in itself that controls interior climate. That
PCM plugs into the main PCM. Harnesses are all different. <sigh> Talked to
DC. Their answer: We want our trucks to have all the cushy comforts of our
cars. We're catching up. Hmmm....not if Schrempp has his way......:-(
