Start with the gas cap, cheap and fast. Cap vent is clogged and does not vent properly. When it dies it has time to suck in a little air and it can then start. Drive a little while longer and the vacuum builds again and it dies. If this does not work buy a fuel pressure gauge and check pressure. If it is low replace the fuel pump, big expensive job.

What will make a 1991 Dodge Dakota to stop running while driving but will start up again and run for a while but will do it over and over?

You might want to check the Hall effect pick up on TBI models or the Signal Generator switch plate on MPI models. I had issues that sound the same as yours. It would drive me crazy and finally would start again. It is located in the Distributore cap. It is not hard to change. Good luck.
