Spudders on restart once warmed up
My 2002 Dakota 3.9L sputters and bogs out on re-start, once you driven it and it is warmed up. I can start it in the morning and it runs great. Once I drive 2 miles or 100 miles stop and then re-start it after 5 minutes to 45 minutes it will sputter and feels like it is bogging out and sometimes even stalls. Then after a few minutes it is OK. I have done a complete tune-up, plugs, wiring harness, , coil, rotor cap, rotor and pick-up assembly in Distributor. I am getting no codes. Any clues or has some else had the same issues

Hows the fuel pressure?
Wont hurt to clean up the throttle an IAC,an check TPS.
I've seen where the tps malfunctions an does NOT throw a code so test that also.
Check all grounds an connections including fuel relay an auto shut down .
Some sensors can cause trouble but not send a code at times too ,especially aftermarket non dodge sensors.Cam an crank,TPS, an 02 well known for it.

1 of the HUNDREDS of texts/forums with failing "off brand" sensors on the dakota
"Soooo am i the only one that goes through one of these every year or two? And usually need to get the new one replaced once or twice every install? They seem to separate or just fail when the truck is under heavy load for an extended period of time....anyone else have this? any fix? they have been aftermarket sensors i guess are oem ones better?
Never buy parts store sensors for these trucks. They are known to be picky."
-There are too many messages to list, on same problem, with non OEM sensor problems on dakotas..
