Take a bag of ice with you and go for a ride till it shuts down... pop to hood and place the bag of ice on the PCM and then try to start it .. if she fires right up then your PCM is overheating... it's a very common problem with the 98-99's when the temp starts to rise this time of year. HTH

There's a good question: what color is the vehicle?
Granted, mine is Cherry Red and I've had no issues with the PCM.
More information is needed here.
Have you checked the air filter? I had an issue with mine where it had to be jumped then wouldn't idle for half an hour. I pulled the air filter out and it ran fine, thus knew what the fix would be.
Is the Check Engine light on? If any of the sensors are detecting an issue beyond adjustable parameters or are bad you'll have the light.
When was the last tune up/spark plug gap check?
When was the last time the fuel filter was changed?

I guess I've been lucky. My Durango, bought it in '97, is black, and never been garaged. The Ram I got a few months ago is black, and always has been outside during the day.
Neither seem to have that issue. I was kind of surprised by it, and never heard of it before...good to know for future reference.
