Best Answer

many things can cause this. Restricted fuel ( filter) weak fuel pump. Restricted exhaust (converter plugged) worn out plugs or wrong gap. Sticking brakes. Have an auto parts store run a diagnosis check on your Dakota. Free at auto zone & times only a min or two. even a bad grade of gas will cause it,
