I have a 2001 QC V6 and i stalls in randoms places. Like in drive ways or parking. Its always at randoms times and its starting to get annoying. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone one else?

my 94 v6 would stall during idle around parking lots or when putting it into gear.
it would start, drive and idle at a stop light fine.
the egr valve was gone and the tapping of the accelerator to get around the parking lot was slight enough to cause this.
I did not get a engine light as a warning to me.
$300 for an $85 part, but I did not have a code reader that the garage said came up.

I had random stalling problems when my coil would go out.
I don't think you have an EGR valve on your year model.

I have no idea if the 01 dakota has an EGR valve. I would think so due to all the emissions regs. I believe the valve re routes the exhaust gas thus carring a lot of crap with it. This gunk cloggs up the valve and impeeds the opening closing the valve during low idle.
I dont know if you can check it yourself unless you have some sort of code reader?? I am not versed in these types of repairs.
My 94 valve is on the pass side, behind the TB, top of engine, about the size of a hockey puck with a small vacuum hose.
When I changed mine the TB had to be cleaned too. It, including the IAC (on the back of the TB) was quiste a mess after 165k. I used Chrysler TB cleaner and removed the 2 tx-25 screws and use a toothbrush to clean the IAC. I used a small mirror and light to check inside the port of the IAC, as its on the back. (DONT move the plunger on the removed IAC)
Good luck, not a hard job other than identifing all the electronic controlled valves motors.
