I have dodge intrepid 2000, with 2.7L engine and 82 000 miles on it, have that kind of problem. engine sometimes shuts off while I drive and slow down , or engine shuts off when engine is on Idle and as I cranck it again it starts without any problem, but sometimes it will not start immediatly, I changed engine control module but did't help. I have no check lights on and diagnostic is not showing any malfunction. at the shop they can not diagnoze whats wrong with car. today I was tapping on throtle positioning sensor and RPM was going up to 1200 then I disconected plug and RPM went down to 700 , after a while engine shuted off, then I conected and engine run normal, disconected again and rpm go up to 1200. shaking plag on sensor was making rpm go up or down. what can be wrong?

Check the wiring on the plug for damage. Also, check the idle air control valve on the throttle body to make sure it is working. Finally, check for vacuum leaks and fuel pressure. On the homepage, there is a DIY section for checking fuel pressure. It contains a video and directions.
