What is your question?
It needs gas when starting up
While driving or at an idle the check engine light comes on and stalls or if a little gas is given it will not stall but light goes out immediately so we can't get a code.
Sometimes my gas gage goes down and my low gas light comes on but there is gas
What makes this problem better or worse?
Driving it worse

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team!
Sounds like you're running out of gas dealing with this issue!
Your Dakota's issues indicate fuel delivery or engine management problems. The check engine light coming on before stalling suggests issues with the fuel pump, filter, or engine sensors. The erratic gas gauge and low fuel light could stem from electrical issues. A mechanic should conduct a diagnostic scan to retrieve stored codes and test components to promptly pinpoint and resolve these issues.
Good luck!
