I have 1996 Dodge ram 1500 and it recently would not start on me. Noticed a crack in the ignition coil, so I replaced it. It fired up, but will not stay at Idle. As soon as I let off the gas it stalls. Any thought PLEASE.

If you disconnected the battery prior to changing out the coil the computer loses its memory and has to go thru relearning process to target the idle speed again or there's a problem with the idle air control motor.
