1997 Dodge Ram Van. Automatic. Our van has recently started stalling, seems to be almost random when it stalls. We took it to AutoZone and we got the code read out of P0132. The database says it may be just a faulty sensor or connection but I am wondering if it might be related to the van stalling.
It would stall shortly after, sometime it wouldn't at all. Seems like a bad o2 sensor could cause that by running too lean. I read about O2 sensors from autozone being bad about 10 times around here, so I definitely won't be doing that. We've since took it to a mechanic and they are going to replace it for about $100, which doesn't seem too bad since the part itself costs more than half of that.
um but what brand of 02 are they quoting u for around 100 bucks?
What brand is the bad one?
In my opinion in that truck any one that isn't NTK!
a bad 02 can cause stalling sure! could also be a crank sensor getting hot and causing the stall and a faulty heater element in the 02! If the 02 is unplugged and the van stops stalling then it's likely just the 02! When it stalls does it start up right away? Whatever u do don't buy an 02 at Autozone
