What if your 97 Dakota seems to idle fine but runs bad in drive?

Check air filter and replace fuel filter. If that doesn't work do a tune up (spark plug wires spark plugs). If that doesnt work then there is a problem with a sensor to the point that its within voltage, amperage or resistance settings programed in the PCM (powertrain control module) to not set off the check engine light. Or the timing jumped a tooth.
If the check engine light on get it scanned to see what the code is and investigate what the problem is.

try checking that there is no moisture build up in the sparks as this will cause it to idle rough but drive fine. if u do find moisture try spraying some crc 556 or other lubricant in the spark cavity and check the spark plug gapping. if its still idling rough after that take it to a garage :-)
