Unhappy Need Some Help!

Hey guys, haven't been here in a while but I need a little help.

Okay so I have two things I need help with... Ill start with the easy one first.

1) Does anyone know where I can get a replacement fog lamp socket, I cant seem to find one anywhere?
Mine looks like this...

2) My Dakota has been stalling lately, its only on the start-up. I'll go out in the morning and it will fire right up, then I drive around and when I get back, shut it off and start it back up again, the RPMs will go up to about 1000 and then just drop to 0 and stall. If I start it again I have to give it gas and hold the pedal at about 750 RPM and then shift it into drive, then when I start driving I have to get it to about 2nd gear or else if I take my foot off the gas the RPMs will drop to 0 and it will stall again. I've already replaced the IAC valve, TPS, and I have an Upstream 02 sensor coming in the mail. Any other thing you guys think it could be? Ive heard it could be the battery, coolent temp sensor or the fuel pump/filter. I could really use your help because it getting kinda old stalling in a small parking lot 5 times because I have to do a 4 point turn. Lol.
Here's a video of me mumbling about what its doing. YouTube
I'm looking to sell it soon so it would be great if we could fine the solution.

What is your check engine light on for? Have you pulled codes?? Go to Autozone or O'Reilleys and get the codes. We can help out a lot more with that information.
