Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 98 Dakota sport 4x4 is having a
stalling issue everytime I stop it stalls
if I put it in Neutral it dont. Son works
on cars says it could be the fuel
system but lives 4 hours away and cant
diagnosis it over the phone. Can I put
an electronic fuel pump on it and
bypass the fuel pump in the tank so I
dont have to drop the tank or is there
an easier and cheaper way to chase
the problem down?

How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes? Did you use a gage and check proper fuel pressure? At idle, most of the fuel is returned to fuel tank. There is not much load on the engine in park or neutral, there is a load in drive. This sounds like a high mileage engine? I'd clean the throttle body--throttle bore--any small passages in throttle body and iac/idle air control. See if it helps? Just my opinion.
