Yep. I had a Dakota do that. The dealer cleaned it once under warranty but when I recurred, I did it myself. Get some spray "Throttle Body" cleaner. DO NOT use carburetor cleaner. It will destroy your TPS. Gummout even says on the can to NOT use it on fuel injection systems, at least it used to. Pull the air duct off and hold the throttle plate open by hand. Spray down the throat and rub around with a paper, not cloth, towel. Anything that comes off will burn in the engine. You'll find a bunch of gooky stuff (<-------fancy technical term) on the towel. Clean it as best you can, reassemble and start the engine. It will be hard to start and run rough for a bit. That's all the gooky stuff (<------fancy technical term again) burning off. The gooky stuff (Gosh, aren't I pedantic?) comes from your PCV valve and is normal.

Had the exact same problem on my 02 2500 with the 5.9 v8. Was the crankshaft position sensor. It did not throw an ecu code. Hope that helps
