Default Need help truck dies

Hi Guys
My niece is borrowing my 94 dakota 3.9 V6. She is saying when she stops at a stop sign or light the truck dies and it starts rite back up. She also says when they start it back up and puts it in drive it wants to jump and take off. Do you guys have any idea what could cause this?
Thank you
Walter

Dirty/bad IAC, dirty TB, bad gas, dirty air filter, bad plugs/wires/distributer cap/rotor, etc. etc.....probably RPM's are high after starting back up and she's not letting them come back down before p[utting in drive, resulting in "taking off". You need to drive the truck yourself.

Hi Guys
I went after my Dakota last Friday evening. I drove it 50 miles home and it did not die at all. It ran good. I don't know what my niece doing to the dakota. I haven't any problems with it.
Thank You
