Lora,
The same exact thing has been happening to me and I have a 97 3.9.
It is intermitent and I have no idea what is causing it either. If I hold
down the gas enough it will stay on, otherwise it will just die. A few
people on DML suggested to me it might be the fuel pump, I haven't had time
to look into it though. I will look at in next week while on spring break.
It seems to happen more to me with under a 1/2 tank of gas.
