It sounds like your ignition coil is overheating. Once it cools down it will fire properly until it gets hot again. Replace the ignition coil and you should be all set.
check if the power to the fuel pump gets constant power when switched on it may have a electrical problem you may need to get a auto elect tech to help you
SORRY but you have a very typical dodge problem.dodges are VERY well known for these little and big wiring problems.you can find an electrical expert thats highly recomended or the dealer.if you don't fix it well,my grandads had some small problems fuel hand radio insturment panel would all stop working some times and some times work fine,then one day it burned the whole harness inside truck and under hood then it really cost a pretty penny.hope you get her fixed..
check harmonic balancer for slop back and forth,,,,these 3.8's have a crank posision sensor behind the balancer,that run off of the balancer,,,gthe rubber wears out and they start to flop around and timing gets messed up.../they cost around 100 bucks for a aftermarket,and if thats the problem,do yourself a favor and replace CPS while tour at it....good luck...Lee
