This truck and stalling out have become synonymous. Within the first six months of owning the truck I notice that whenever I would cold start the truck and put it into gear the RPMs would drop and the truck would stall. Similarly it would stall out whenever I was coming out of reverse and into drive (after backing up). I took it to the dealer and they diagnosed the problem as a faulty crimp in the spin up transmission filter. They replaced the filter and everything was fine for about a year. The truck started dying on me again only this time the check engine light would come on and off at random intervals (not seemingly related to the truck dying). I took it in and this time they diagnosed a faulty EGR valve. Apparently is was sticking open and causing the truck to run lean and stall out. They replaced it and what do you know...about a year later (yesterday) I was coming home from work and the truck started shuddering and dying and had no power under acceleration...the check engine light came on and now here it sits in the shop...AGAIN!!!...for the SAME problem. I bought the truck because I liked the styling and the performance of the Hemi...but after owning this one I'm questioning whether or not I want to buy Dodge again...EVER. Three times this truck has actually put my safety in jeopardy by dying in the middle of the road (the second time was in the middle of the highway during rush hour). So the short answer to a long story is that I've been given several reasons for why this truck keeps stalling but after doing some research I found out that Dodge launched a study for the 2004 Dodge Rams for the very same problem but couldn't find a definite reason for the stalling and hence didn't find reason to issue a recall.

One thing that would cause your 1999 Pontiac Montana to stall at idle is the idle being set too low. You should raise it to see if that fixes the problem.

Rough idling and hesitation can be caused by several different things. The most common causes are; bad spark plugs, bad spark plug wires, and a dirty air filter.
