I took it in and they said it was the O2 sensor and after I put one in it was runnin fine for a few days then it started all over agian only difference this time is the check engine light don't come on. Any ideas???

Check your Idle Air Control unit, this controls idle speed when off the gas. some time it pulls a code, some times not.

I had the same problem in June and July of 2003 in California. I was also getting a strange new vibration that I could feel in the gas pedal, and hear when I accelerated. It got steadily worse, till my water pump blew a month or so later. I replaced it and havn't had a problem since. No more stalling at stop signs

My 01 Dakota with a 4.7 had the same problem at 45xxx miles. I couldn't pinpoint the problem so I started cheap and replaced what looked like a clean air filter. After 5 bucks problem was instanly fixed. Since then I installed a cold air intake on from "intakeforce" which I bought off ebay for 43 bucks. Its a complete kit with 2 piece aluminum tube, sleves to conect tube, filter, and clamps. About a 30 min install. Great product! Gave truck powerful tone, noticealbe gain in HP, and increased mileage to 18mpg on interstate. Definately no complaints here.

i had this problem and took it in and they changed the o2 sensor which worked for a while. it started again so i took back and had a major tune up done on it. i mean everything. i also had the fuel system cleaned. i have not had a problem since. I had the work done about a year or so ago. it was about $400 in the end but it runs great now.
