Car will not stay turned ON when cold

Try this. When you first try to turn your engine on, keep your foot on the gas pedal. The car should turn over but not start. (don't worry, its not supposed to). Take your foot off the gas and turn the ignition on again, but Don't touch the throttle this time. That should set your choke correctly. To summarise: Turn key with foot on Gas. Take foot off Gas, and turn key again.

1999 Dodge Stratus 2.4L it cranks but will start.Any suggestions?

Check your timing belt. If it has some miles on it, it may have broken the tensioner and jumped time which will cause the problems you have.

1999 Dodge Ram 1500 cold cranks but will not stay running

Have him remove & clean th IAC/AIS motor on the throttle body, and the port it came out of , as well as clean inside of throttle body if he hasn't done so already. Check and clean connections before re-assembling. Shouldn't take any longer than 1/2 hr or so.
