2004 Dodge Ram 1500 P0448 Fault: Engine Stalls in Cold Weather, Won't Idle Until Warm-Up

Model: 2004 dodge ram 1500 Fault Code: P0448 Posted: 2015-03-04 21:34

My 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 is experiencing a recurring issue in cold weather: the engine only idles for a few minutes before stalling. Once it stalls, it will not restart on its own and requires repeated attempts to start. The problem resolves once the engine warms up, after which normal idle operation resumes. This behavior is associated with Diagnostic Trouble Code P0448, which indicates a malfunction in the evaporative emission control system's purge valve or related components. I'm seeking advice on potential causes and solutions for this issue specific to my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 model.
