Had the same problem with a 99 Dakota 5.2 V8, turned out to be the cam position sensor. You can take it to an auto zone or ? They will read the code for you, they said the sensor was bad but didn't sell the part, so I got one at Napa cost $42. It's located under the rotor in the distributor, easy fix, just a little tight getting to it. I'm thinking the 3.9 is the same but I'm not positive. Hope this easy fix solves your problem.
