It's a 97 Dakota Sport with only 57,000 miles on it and yet when I start my truck in the mornings, it turns off after starting. I restart, does the same thing. The third time, I need to put my foot on the accelerator to get it to turn over, then if I take my foot off the accelerator, it kills again.
What can the problem be? I can't keep pushing the gas and brake at stopsigns and stoplights!

THANKS!
