Get throttle body cleaner and clean out your throttle body otherwise it'll keep stopping after you clean out the throttle body then it should be fine

You may want to check transmission. My 2000 Durango had the same issues stemming from faulty coil pack and broken spring on the pump accumulator valve. I opted for the upgraded white plug with matching shift rail.
