1996 Dodge Dakota. Engine stutters

carb cleaner is nasty stuff it will quickly destroy any plastic or rubber components, Ive taken apart many carburetors that were ruined by it. it should only be used to remove gummy deposits from metal parts, and even then, i would only use it after milder solvents had failed.

I'm not saying shoot it all over the engine willy nilly, I'm saying give a couple shots near the base of the intake and at the throttle body base. You can use a light fog of it on vacuum hoses as well. I use carb clean to clean greasy deposits on just about anything under the hood. I've been working on cars for almost 30 years and never melted anything doing so.
