my 98 3.9 auto. stalls out when idling. I have to constantly give it gas to get it going. Once in drive for about 20 seconds it's fine. What could be the problem? Thanks.

it sounds like you need to clean your IAC valve... Remove the Air Hat from the Throttle Body

Disconnect the sensor harness from the IAC Solenoid (Rear of Throttle Body)
Remove the two Torx-25 Screws
Remove the IAC Solenoid (Be careful not to lose the rubber O-Ring) Spray some Carb/TB Cleaner in the IAC port on the Throttle Body and let it sit
Spray some Carb/TB Cleaner on the tip of the IAC Solenoid and wipe clean (Do NOT forcefully twist or push the plunger - You will damage the Solenoid. Wipe very gently.)

Spray a little bit more Carb/TB Cleaner in the IAC port on the Throttle Body and wipe clean with a thin/lint-free rag
Reinstall the IAC Solenoid (Make sure you don't lose the rubber gasket on the solenoid)
Reinstall the sensor connector and airhat
Start the engine and let idle for about 1 minute....

Hope this helps
