I'll jump on with a "me too" here. Definitely give the TB and its
sensors a good cleaning, but it sounds like the battery to me. At
Mopars at the Valley 2000, Bob N. drained his battery to nothing and
even after a jump start it refused to idle - had to hold the throttle
open, and it stumbled some too. If it's a Mopar battery, it's probably
on its way out.
