With this type of problem you're having the absolute best solution for you is to take it to a dodge dealer and have them run a dianogist test to find out what the problem is. Because it could be a lot of problems or just one simple one. But if you don't have a tester, you're likely to spend lots of money on a problem that could have been corrected for less.

It is not that major since it is capable of acting normal. I would take it to a dealer and have them check it out. It may be as simple as a tune up.

have some one look over your plug wires they could be narking.
If that doesent work throttle positioning sensor could be bad.
