I have 98688 miles on my 1999 dodge stratus 4 cinl 2.4L it drives fine but every once in a while if I am stopped she will like jerk. Almost like she wants to stall. Could it have anything to do with the fuel filter and or trans filter? Any thoughts to what the problem could be?

Could be a sign that a MAP or MAF sensor is getting dirty, or going bad. May be a sign its time for a tune up.

I cleaned my throttle body and it works fine. If you have low idle stall problems try buying throttle body cleaner. Open up the blade get a toothbrush and scrub it clean. Make sure the cleaner is safe for O2 sensors. I opened it up and sprayed scrubed, sprayed scrubed. I used half the can.
