Dakota Sport 3.9L V6

Well, it just keeps getting worse. Now its costing me because the parts that are breaking aren't covered under my powertrain warranty. Spent $450.00 to clean my throttle body, and a new IAC motor, whatever THAT is. Also, I should point out, I have paid $95.00 twice to Northglenn Dodge, for diagnostic tests. These were paid for in a span of about two and a half months. On the first test, it said my downstream O2 sensor was bad. On the second test, it came up with all sorts of other things wrong, to include the cateletic converter needing replaced but, no mention of the downstream O2 sensor. did it suddenly fix itself?!
