SAME PROBLEM - idle while cold then shuts off when warm.

Dealership tested to say that the power resistor was bad. Ordered one ($250) which is the full assembly with coil. Once installed, something shorted it and it fried the brand new power resistor. Dealership ate the cost to warranty and I have a non working truck again.

So I will start the impossible task tomorrow of "find the mystery short"

any suggestions ?
HAd the same problem with my '95. It ended up being the throttle body servo kit (part# md628059 - $375!) Once installed everything was back to normal.
