Dodges of that era tend to have leaky intakes (aka random vacuum leaks)
If you take the time to identify and fix all the leaks and the seals also tend to leak, your experience will improve by about 50%
And dodge autos are the absolute worst thing ever, a manual transmission DOES make a huge difference just because dodge made crappy autos in the early 2000's.
Good Luck
