Joe, could be moisture in the distributor cap, bad plug wires.
Ryan, FYI dodge didn't use a MAF sensor on any of these engines. they use a MAP sensor.

Well Joe, that's partially true. In '03 the 3.9 & 5.9 had distributor caps. The 4.7's didn't. But since you posted in the V6 forum I figured you had a 3.9.
